It describes itself as 'a federation of state organizations, corn boards, councils and commissions developing and implementing programs and policies on a state and national level to help protect and advance the corn producer's interests.'
Syngenta, Monsanto and others contributed about 11 percent of the National Corn Growers Association's $7 million budget in fiscal year 2001, says spokesman Stewart Reeve.
