IL Corn's Conservation Program (Precision Conservation Management) team and some IL Corn leaders are at Field to Market: The Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture and Sustainable Agriculture Summit this week. Partnerships like this are invaluable to farmers and the future of the supply chain. By supporting farmers' efforts to use in-field conservation practices, we can get in front of future regulations and ensure a profitable future for farmers across the Midwest. As always, Megan Dwyer did an amazing job on a panel in one of the sessions.
About us
This is the official Linkedin page for IL Corn, where you can find information on all things corn here in the State of Illinois. IL Corn is made up of two farmer-led organizations that serve corn farmers in Illinois: IL Corn Growers Association (ICGA) and IL Corn Marketing Board (ICMB). ICGA represents the interests of Illinois corn farmers in Washington, DC and Springfield, IL, while ICMB is focused on growing demand, creating new markets, and fostering understanding of corn farmers and the corn industry. Through these two organizations, IL Corn seeks to position corn farmers to create and capture profit opportunities, preserve their independence, and prosper for generations.

Members were chosen for their expertise in key EPA priority areas, including climate change and sustainable agricultural practices, and represent a variety of agricultural sectors, rural stakeholders, and diverse geographies. To say that Megan Dwyer is well qualified for this opportunity to represent Illinois farmers on crucial environmental policy issues is an understatement.
