The Indiana Corn Growers Association (ICGA) is a membership organization that is the public policy voice for Indiana corn growers. The ICGA represents grower concerns at the local, state and national levels, including legislative, judicial and regulatory agency decisions. Along with support from our national organization National Corn Growers Association, ICGA works to promote corn and help improve corn growers’ profitability. The ICGA board includes 9 farmer directors from 9 districts that follow congressional districts. (view district map)
Farmer-elected directors serve three-year terms. There are three board positions up for election each year on ICGA’s nine-member volunteer Board.
Board members are elected to a three-year term and can serve three consecutive terms. The term begins at the first meeting in the new fiscal year.
