American Corn Growers 22nd annual convention

The American Corn Growers Association (ACGA) announces its 22nd annual convention in Coralville, Iowa, Jan. 15-16, 2009 at the Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. "Food, Conservation, Energy and Trade 2009" will boast a line-up of well-known industry leaders who will address the current policies and practices of food, conservation, energy and trade.

Straight out of Texas, author and populist Jim Hightower, as the keynote speaker, will deliver his seriously funny message calling farmers, consumers and just-plain-folks to get involved and make a difference in their own lives and communities.
