The National Corn Growers Association reached a new record high number of members, 37,447, at the end of June. The previous record of 37,231 was set in March 2012.

NCGA membership offers benefits, including leadership opportunities, academic scholarships and discounts. Members play an active role in organizational leadership by shaping the direction of activities and influencing public policy that affects all farmers.

Additionally, membership provides valuable discounts with companies such as Office Depot, Dell, Cabela's, Ford and Enterprise, and special access to official NASCAR information, including discounted tickets and merchandise.

In addition to representing individual members, NCGA is part of a federation in cooperation with many state-level grower associations and checkoff boards.

More than 300,000 growers contribute to state and national organizations through corn checkoff funds in their states.
