Corn Refiners

Food and agriculture have always been at the heart of the U.S. economy, and this year is no different. On the eve of #AgDay26, we’re proud to partner on the release of the 10th annual Feeding the Economy report, #FeedingTheEconomy2026, detailing the ways our industries benefit the economy, including generating more than $10.4 trillion in economic activity.

Strong export partners like Mexico and Canada are vital to American agriculture, and keeping USMCA at the center of that relationship is critical to the economic health of rural America. x.com/AgForUSMCA/sta…

This is an important step toward securing a strong market for American farmers: Nationwide, year-round sales of E15!

Michigan is known for, among other things, pristine nature, the Motor City, and sports fanatics. But did you know food and agriculture support nearly 1.3 million jobs in the state? The Feeding the Economy Report shows how important ag is in Michigan. Learn more at feedingtheeconomy.com !

We’re excited to take our message to Capitol Hill tomorrow! #PBPBPolicySummit

Agricultural and seafood exports under USMCA are responsible for nearly 500,000 jobs and $150 billion in economic activity. USMCA is critical for communities across the country, and we're asking you to show your support for this trade pact.

Agriculture needs markets, and E15 represents an important market opportunity for American farmers! x.com/GrowthEnergy/s…

The US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) is one of the most consequential trade achievements in modern history, and its importance to American ag and domestic food manufacturing can't be overstated. As the three nations begin a joint review this summer, we want to ensure that your voice is heard. Sign up to receive actionable opportunities at key moments in the process and help ensure that American farmers, manufacturers, and consumers still reap the benefits of this trade pact. corn.quorum.us/campaign/15833…

At last week's NAFB Washington Watch, our President and CEO John Bode sat down with Jesse Allen to discuss the bioeconomy, the tenth annual Feeding the Economy report, and the state of American agriculture. Check it out! brnw.ch/21x2dlf

It probably won't surprise you that the Cornhusker State runs on agriculture, but the scale of it might! Nebraska agriculture supports more than 545k jobs, while the state's entire population is 2 million. That's a large percentage working in and around ag.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Field to Fiesta celebration yesterday and helped honor the rich agricultural bounty of North America. We’re grateful for the growers across our continent whose work sustains local economies, supports livelihoods, and brings people together through shared traditions and abundance. A special thank you to our cosponsors, @cbrands, @AmeriBev, @AvosFromMexico, @nmpf, the Mexican Hass Avocado Importers Association, and @USDairyExporter.

Two months from today represents an important deadline for the future of the USMCA. This agreement has been a boon for farmers, manufacturers, and American consumers. It must be renewed. @AgForUSMCA has the info on how the pact benefits Americans and why we need to keep it: agforusmca.com

Predictable and affordable power are important for America's economy, but skyrocketing demand and inadequate infrastructure threaten both. We're glad to see Congress taking action. @RepWesterman and @RepGolden's SPEED Act would increase energy production and development, allowing us to produce even more power. Our recent blog post lays out where we are and how we can continue to improve America's grid reliability. corn.org/policies/grid-…

The Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 advanced by @HouseAgGOP and passed today on the House floor includes key bipartisan, bicameral policy priorities endorsed by CRA to unlock new value-added market opportunities for American producers. corn.org/cra-backed-pro…

CRA was pleased to visit with @NAFB members during this week’s Washington Watch. CRA is proud to sponsor this annual event and support the work of farm broadcasters to inform producers and consumers across the country!

The North Star State is home to thousands of pristine lakes, great outdoor recreation, and some of the best farmland in the world. The 10th Annual Feeding the Economy report agrees, with Minnesota ag accounting for more than $238 billion in economic output and nearly a million jobs.

@TheStevieAwards honor businesses and leaders making a mark in their industry, and we're proud to receive two honors this year. CRA earned a Silver Stevie for Achievement in Management, and our President and CEO, John Bode, earned a Bronze Stevie as a non-profit thought leader. Thank you to the Stevie Awards for this honor, and thank you to the corn producers and refiners who helped us get to this point.

Building and supporting markets for American ag exports is a critical way to promote resilience in rural America! x.com/usgrainscounci…

The U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) works for America, including by supporting 13 million American jobs. The food manufacturing and agriculture industries rely on the trade pact, and we'll keep pushing for its renewal. Show your support brnw.ch/21x1S6j

This Earth Day, we’re reminded that innovation and sustainability go hand in hand. Corn refiners are continuously working to reduce environmental impact by improving energy efficiency, conserving water, and maximizing the value of every kernel. Our industry plays an important role in supporting a more resilient future. Happy Earth Day!

Worker safety is a shared priority across the corn refining industry, and CRA's members have proven results. Meaningful progress takes time, commitment, and continuous improvement, and now we see the results of that effort as corn refining has become an example of safety in food manufacturing. Today, we’re proud to recognize five member companies for their strong safety performance over the past year. These companies, representing 12 facilities, earned 25 workplace safety awards, reflecting decades of ongoing investment in safer operations and stronger protections for teams. Their strong leadership in protecting workers and advancing workplace safety builds on @USDOL and @OSHA_DOL standards. At CRA, we’re committed to supporting industry-wide progress on workplace safety, and we’re encouraged to see these efforts recognized. Congratulations to @Cargill, @Ingredion, ADM, Grain Processing Corporation, and Primient on this well-earned achievement. We look forward to the continued progress ahead. corn.org/2025-workplace…
