Agriculture is the number one industry in Missouri, adding billions of dollars to the state’s economy each year.  And corn is a major contributor, providing food, feed, fiber and fuel.

From ethanol to exports—livestock feeding to bio-based plastics—the Missouri Corn Growers Association and the Missouri Corn Merchandising Council develop and support projects designed to increase the demand for Missouri corn—and to enhance the profitability of Missouri corn growers.

 FREE ACRE WEBINAR AVAILABLE JULY 3

The National Corn Growers Association recently cosponsored a free “Ask the Experts” webinar to help growers determine if the new Average Crop Revenue Election program can benefit their operation. 

For growers who missed the live learning session July 1, a rebroadcast of the webinar will be available here, beginning July 3.  The webinar is recommended for farmers, landlords and Farm Service Agency personnel looking for insight into the new farm safety net program.
