Decision 2012

About

The Corn Caucus Project is a joint program of NCGA and Iowa Corn that is designed to encourage grower involvement and promote grower interests in the 2012 presidential primary process. The program also educates the 2012 presidential candidates about issues of importance to growers and their communities, and it involves growers in the political process by providing them access to candidates, their organizations and events and providing them information to make an informed choice in the 2012 presidential primaries and general election.

For this election cycle, the program began in Iowa in 2011 with the tracking of campaigns, candidates’ positions and the work to connect interested growers with campaigns. Activities include a policy survey for candidates, media tracking, communication with campaigns on NCGA positions and priorities, and corn grower involvement in campaigns including volunteering and attending candidate events.

The Corn Caucus Project does not endorse any candidate.

The Corn Caucus Project is overseen at the national level by NCGA’s Grassroots Program Committee and the Grower Services Action Team. The program would not be possible without funding from the Grassroots Committee and the Minnesota, Nebraska, Illinois, Kentucky and Iowa Corn Growers Associations.
