The North Dakota Corn Growers Association is celebrating its 35th anniversary. NDCGA Executive Director Brenda Elmer says concern for the corn market spurred the decision to organize. “Thirty-five years ago, several leaders came together over shared concern about the Canadian corn market with countervailing duties on corn.” Three years later, the North Dakota Corn Council was established. “Just a couple years later, those leaders initiated the beginnings of the corn checkoff. That’s really been the beginning of a lot of value-added ag in the northern climate.”
