Created by farmers, led by farmers and dedicated to serving farmers, the Alabama Farmers Federation first emerged from the Alabama soil in 1921. It's mission: to promote the economic, social and educational interests of rural Alabamians. By holding fast to the simple idea of strength through unity, the Alabama Farmers Federation has grown from 30,000 members just 50 years ago to become the state's largest, most active and most diversified farm organization. With more than 460,000 members statewide, the Federation's "one voice" delivers a powerful message, whether at the Statehouse in Montgomery or on Capitol Hill in Washington.

The Corn Refiners Association (CRA) is the national trade association representing the corn refining industry of the United States. CRA and its predecessors have served this important segment of American agribusiness since 1913. CRA advocates for science-based public policy and economically-sound decisions at the state, federal, and global levels. It approaches every new challenge with its members and their customers in mind, working to foster technological innovation, expand commercial opportunities, advance free trade, build the bioeconomy, and feed a hungry world. ABOUT THE INDUSTRY: Corn refiners manufacture sweeteners, starch, advanced bioproducts, corn oil, and feed products from corn components such as starch, oil, protein, and fiber. Corn refined ingredients are utilized in thousands of different consumer products and industrial goods used every day all around the world. For more than 150 years, our corn-related innovations have made food taste better, cosmetics last longer, pharmaceuticals easier to swallow, and plastics environmentally friendly. And now, corn products are used in 3-D printing inks and studied by nanotechnology scientists as a method for delivering cancer treatments. That’s why we call corn nature’s renewable building block.
