Read MoreFarmers are active environmentalists focused on land stewardship and sustainability. To sustain a farm operation, farmers must ensure that their land is able to produce a high value crop each year.
Maintaining farmland and farming operations from generation to generation is the universal goal. We are in constant pursuit of improved efficiency and productivity.
Maintaining healthy soils, sustainable water supplies, and clean air is elemental to successful farming.
We are the only organization in the state that strictly represents the row crop industry, and we serve an important role for our members and their businesses. This organization gives us a strong and united voice among policy makers at the State Capitol and in Washington.
