                         Friday, August 5, 2022

  Mr. LaHOOD. Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor the Illinois Corn 
Growers Association (ICGA) on their 50th Anniversary. The Illinois Corn 
Growers Association is a vital organization in our state that works to 
support the agricultural economy and advocate public policies that help 
promote success and sustainability for farmers across Illinois.
  Ilinois farmers are leaders in the production of corn. The ICGA has 
united farm families since 1972 to increase market opportunities for 
corn domestically and around the world. The ICGA provides a voice for 
farmers in Illinois to help promote best practices in the industry and 
foster stewardship of the land. The association also educates the 
public and coordinates policies that advance the biofuels industry and 
drives innovation in how we produce and use corn throughout the world.
  I extend my sincere congratulations to ICGA members for their 
achievements over the years. Agriculture is the number one industry in 
Illinois. Advocacy groups like ICGA have helped shape the industry into 
what it is today and will help lead the industry into the future. I 
wish the organization many more years of success.
