making ND one of the 48 states affiliated with the National Corn Growers
Association.
The North Dakota Corn Growers association serves as the
activity arm of the North Dakota Corn Council. Corn Growers have currently
identified five priorities and have developed action teams to work on these
priorities including: grower services, public policy, stewardship and
conservation, research, livestock and ethanol marketing.
