Mission and programs · 2023
Mission
The Missouri Corn Growers Association is a grassroots organization directed by its members dedicated to increasing the profitability of corn production by developing and expanding corn markets; collecting and distributing information; building coalitions with organizations and industries; and participating in the governmental and legislative process.
-
Public PolicyThe goals for MCGA public policy for FY24 were to educate lawmakers about legislative issues impacting corn farmers and influence positive actions for corn farmers through legislation and regulation. Staff and monetary resources of MCGA public policy were used to work with other commodities to ensure livestock and row crop production remain viable in the state. To advance policy goals, a contractor is retained to work in the state Capitol, monitoring, reporting and influencing legislative issues that would impact corn farmers.
-
MembershipMissouri Corn Growers Association membership programs goals in FY23 were to increase awareness of MCGA policy initiatives and build and retain grassroots participation from our members to assist in the carryout of the FY24 MCGA policy priorities. Staff held approximately 25 membership events to build membership and presented at industry meetings, education events, and trade shows. In addition, member benefit items were purchased to disseminate out to 1-year, 3-year and lifetime members. To assist in growing MCGA, approximately 20 mass mailings were conducted to advise members of events, renewal notices, call to action, and new benefits. Additional timely mailings were sent to prospective members and informational brochures on MCGA and its benefits.
-
StalkTalkStalkTalk is a monthly newsletter published by the Missouri Corn Growers Association. Distributed in print and electronic versions, the publication is designed to educate MCGA members on current issues impacting the corn industry as well as highlight association activities.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
