Troy Schneider Elected to NCGA Corn Board

Delegates attending the National Corn Growers Association's (NCGA) Corn Congress, which was held July 15 in Washington D.C., elected four farmers to serve on the organization's Corn Board. Taking office on Oct. 1, the start of NCGA's 2027 fiscal year, are returning board member Troy Schneider of Colorado, and new board members Dana Allen-Tully of Minnesota, Andy Jobman of Nebraska and Stuart J. Swanson of Iowa. All four candidates were elected to three-year terms.

Schneider is currently serving on his first term on the NCGA Board. He served several years on the CCPC Board, including as president. He has also served as the chair of the Market Development Action Team for NCGA.

"I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue serving America's corn producers. The strength of NCGA has always been its grassroots leadership and the willingness of farmers to come together around common goals. I look forward to continuing to unite our voices as we advocate for policies that strengthen markets, improve profitability, and help preserve the legacy of family farming for future generations." he said.

The NCGA Corn Board represents the organization on all matters while directing both policy and supervising day-to-day operations. Board members represent the federation of state organizations, supervise the affairs and activities of NCGA in partnership with the chief executive officer and implement NCGA policy established by the Corn Congress. Members also act as spokesmen for the NCGA and enhance the organization's public standing on all organizational and policy issues.
