Policy & Legislation

Fighting for the Issues that Matter Most

The South Dakota Corn Growers Association is one of the state’s leading farmer-focused organizations in terms of policy and legislation, both in Pierre and Washington, D.C. It works to increase the profitability of all South Dakota corn farmers through our membership’s influence in legislative activities.

As advocates for our members, the South Dakota Corn Growers Association actively monitors and evaluates legislation affecting farmers both statewide and nationally. Association members decide on legislative priorities. We bring these issues to the attention of elected lawmakers throughout the year.

Grassroots connection is one of the most important things we can do as an organization. We need farmers like you on our team as we navigate these political waters. We send updates and information out via email on issues that affect you and your farming operation. To stay informed and be part of this grassroots organization, click here to join.
