Q: What’s the difference between ICMC and ICGA?
A: ICGA provides membership to corn growers and is committed to representing Indiana farmers on critical policy and regulatory issues affecting the corn industry. Even though policy actions are educationally supported by the corn checkoff through ICMC, these funds cannot be used to fund policy programs. Therefore, membership dollars are collected through active members of ICGA to fund policy work. Become a member of ICGA now and let your voice be heard.
If you are a producer who pays the corn checkoff, your checkoff funds cannot be used for lobbying elected officials on critical issues affecting your farming business in the Indiana General Assembly and U.S. Congress.
