Announcement from the National Corn Growers Association:<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neil Caskey, Missouri ’96,<\/em> a long-time professional in the agricultural arena, has been tapped to lead the National Corn Growers Association as its new CEO, according to the organization\u2019s board of directors. Caskey assumed the role on Monday, February 27, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NCGA board members say they are pleased to name someone of Caskey\u2019s caliber to the top job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNeil\u2019s experience in agriculture is extensive, and he is well known as someone who gets the job done well,\u201d said NCGA President Tom Haag. \u201cThe board and I are certain that Neil will usher in new ideas and take the organization to new heights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caskey has served as NCGA\u2019s vice president of communications and industry relations for over four years and spent over a decade promoting agricultural issues as executive vice president at OBP Agency, a leading advertising and public relations firm. His professional background also includes work for the American Soybean Association and as a legislative aide for a US member of Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is quite an honor to lead an organization that I care so much about,\u201d said Caskey. \u201cWe have a great team in place, and I look forward to forging full-speed ahead and pushing for wins on some of our top issues, like the Next Generation Fuels Act, fighting Mexico\u2019s ban on genetically modified corn and securing reauthorization of the farm bill. NCGA is on the move.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As vice president of NCGA, Caskey has been at the forefront of some of the organization\u2019s top issues. Most recently, he has played a leading role in challenging Mexico on its efforts to ban genetically modified corn. Thanks to the efforts of NCGA on that front, the Biden administration has threatened to file a dissent decree if Mexico doesn\u2019t reverse its actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caskey holds a BA in political science from the University of Missouri-Columbia and an MBA from Webster University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
