Policy Work
The single most important thing the Iowa Corn Growers Association can do for its members is lobby on state and federal issues and protect the rights of corn growers. ICGA policy is developed at grassroots meetings around the state and confirmed at an annual policy conference every December.
Throughout the legislative session, growers meet with their legislators to discuss issues important to the corn industry.

2008-09 Legislative Wrap Up
Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program can now access a helpful computer program, courtesy of the Iowa Corn Growers Association (ICGA).
The program, sponsored by a group of state corn grower associations, allows each producer to plug in farm-specific data to get a detailed benefit analysis of the two programs. All ICGA members will receive a copy of the program and its accompanying information by mail.
Growers who are not currently ICGA members will be able to access the program by visiting our website after Dec. 1.
ACRE consists of :
· Direct payments equal to 80% of direct payments under the traditional direct payment program
· Marketing loan payments with loan rates set at 70% of marketing loan rates established in the 2008 Farm Bill
· ACRE revenue protection payments.
Sure and ACRE Updates
