Welcome to MCGA’s new, renewing members!
The Minnesota Corn Growers Association (MCGA) welcomes our 70 new and renewing members in October. We’re excited to have you aboard!
The new and renewing members come from 39 Minnesota counties covering all corners of the state. That includes Pine County in the north, Fillmore County in the southeast, and Marshall County in the northwest.
Todd County in central Minnesota had the most new and renewing members with six. Chippewa and Watonwan counties had four each.
MCGA is Minnesota’s grassroots corn growers association. Founded in 1978, MCGA has over 6,600 members around the state. We advocate on behalf of corn farmers, support county corn growers associations, and work with the Minnesota Corn Research & Promotion Council on research, promotion, and outreach projects that create opportunities for corn farmers.
We’d love to have you join us as a member. Members power our grassroots advocacy and engagement with elected officials in St. Paul and Washington, D.C. Without your membership, growers wouldn’t have a voice in important state and federal policy discussions impacting corn farming.
Joining MCGA is easy. Simply visit mncorn.org/join or call us at (952) 233-0333.
A one-year MCGA membership is $75, and a three-year membership is $200. If you sold at least 7,500 bushels of corn in the past year and paid into the Minnesota corn check-off, you may quality for a one-year no-cost membership. If you sold 20,000 bushels and paid into the check-off, you may quality for a three-year membership at no-cost.
