Kansas Corn Leaders Participate in NCGA Action Team Meetings

Several Kansas Corn leaders are participating in National Corn Growers Association Action Team meetings and other meetings in Louisville, KY this week. Led by corn leaders from across the U.S, NCGA action teams actively shape the future of the association by guiding its programs and carrying out the policies and priorities that drive the association.

In addition to action team meetings, KCGA President J.D. Hanna, Silver Lake and Vice-President Matt Splitter, Lyons, along with Kansas Corn CEO Josh Roe participated in the two-day state presidents meeting. The Kansas leaders interacted with NCGA Corn Board members and senior NCGA staff in reviewing and setting policy priorities for 2025 and beyond. Top KCGA priorities include policies to increase ethanol use, engaging in tax policy and passing a farm bill.

"NCGA is a grassroots organization t3at is led by corn farmers, not only through its elected officers, but also through grower-driven action teams that provide direction for the organization," Kansas Corn CEO Josh Roe said. "In addition to two in-person meetings, the action teams hold online meetings throughout the year."
