Agriculture is Illinois largest industry, contributing billions of dollars to the states economy each year. And corn is the largest contributor, providing food, feed, fiber and fuel. The corn industry helps sustain thriving processing, manufacturing, export and livestock sectors in our economy. In fact, the Illinois Corn Growers Association ICGA and Illinois Corn Marketing Board ICMB make their home in McLean County, IL, the top producing corn county in the entire nation yielding 77 million bushels of the total state production of 2.3 billion bushels in 2007. The Illinois Corn Growers Association works to constantly improve the business climate and policy environment for corn production.
