Michigan Farmer Matt Frostic Takes Helm of National Corn Growers Association

Matt Frostic, a farmer from Applegate, Michigan, has taken over as the new president of the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA). His term began on October 1, marking the start of the organization’s fiscal year. Frostic, who manages 1,000 acres of corn, soybeans, edible beans, and sugar beets, outlined his key priorities during his first day in office. These include advocating for legislation that permits year-round sales of fuels with 15% ethanol blends, ensuring the passage of the farm bill, and expanding demand for corn.

Frostic emphasized the importance of these goals, stating, "These goals may seem ambitious, but we are going to do everything possible to make them a reality." He highlighted the hard work of farmers who produce crops to feed and fuel both America and the world, urging lawmakers to match their dedication. Frostic’s extensive experience in advocacy includes chairing NCGA’s Input Cost Task Force, where he focused on aligning production costs with current commodity prices. He also served as the organization’s vice president and chaired its resolutions committee.

The NCGA board selects a member to serve as president annually. Frostic previously held leadership roles, including as president and chair of the Michigan Corn Growers Association, bringing a wealth of experience to his new position.
