Join SDCGA - Together we can make a difference!
The SDCGA works to promote corn and improve corn profitability; and influence public policy and legislative efforts. The SDCGA is only as strong as their membership base. The more members we have, the stronger and more clout we carry legislatively.
Through SDCGA membership, South Dakota corn producers' voices are heard. With our membership dollars we have been able to hire a lobbyist who tracks agricultural legislation during the legislative session and makes sure the SDCGA's position on key issues like taxes, agriculture production, ethanol and livestock development are understood.
With our membership voice we have lobbied our congressional delegation on the farm bill, wetlands reform, conservation practices and a renewable fuels standard just to name a few of the projects we are proud of.

About QuickRoots™
The microorganisms in QuickRoots™ have been shown to increase availability of certain plant nutrients and can increase plant nutrient uptake. QuickRoots™ releases plant available phosphorous which has been shown to increase root mass allowing the plant to explore a greater volume of soil. Increased plant nutrient availability will often lead to increased plant health and vigor which can translate into a yield response.
