Our Mission and Vision

About NCGA > Mission/Vision

The Mission of the National Corn Growers Association is to create and increase opportunities for corn growers.

This mission will be achieved through adherence to the following philosophies:

• NCGA is a membership organization and a federation of states
• We serve each together and separately, as needed
• We draw unique strengths from each

• We exist to coordinate the focus and interest and power of our dual membership into a national effort
• We draw strength from a united coordinated policy effort
• We draw strength from our collective diversity

• To be successful, we must leverage our resources
• This includes volunteer time as well as money
• We seek involvement in carefully screened coalitions and partnerships
• We seek a leveraging opportunity for each of our key goals

• We have a broad scope of responsibilities but finite resources, and must therefore continue to strive to prioritize to effectively employ our resources

The Vision of the National Corn Growers Association is that it will continue to be the recognized leader working in cooperation with its suppliers and customers to maintain sustainability and to achieve new business and profit opportunities for those it represents.

To continue our vision, we will:

• Provide exceptional leadership and service to state member organizations and individual members Serve to constantly improve and to enhance the National Corn Growers Association vision—facilitating grower input and industry consensus on industry‑wide goals and committing resources and taking measurable actions toward achieving these goals
• Serve as a national forum for developing a strong voice on domestic and international policy affecting the corn industry and corn growers in particular
• Continue as the recognized and respected source of valued leadership and information for members, growers, the agriculture industry, those who influence policy, and decision makers
• Be a catalyst to create an enabling environment for grower entrepreneurs
