NGFA is a Trade Association

NGFA is a trade association made up of member companies throughout the grain and feed supply chain. Each company pays annual dues to the NGFA, which extends the benefits and services of the association to every employee of each member company.

Is your company already part of the NGFA?

Get Involved

NGFA is a member organization, and we rely on you to get involved and make a difference for our industry. Below are ways for you to exercise your voice in our industry.

Volunteer to be an Arbitrator

The NGFA Arbitration has been serving the industry for more than 100 years, as an inexpensive, accessible, expeditious and user-friendly alternative to litigation and other dispute resolution forums. Its continued success depends on NGFA members volunteering to serve on arbitration panels.

As a member, you can join one of our 15 committees and help guide the policies and priorities of NGFA. Some committees are limited by the type of membership and all committees are limited in size. Contact NGFA for more information.

Nominate or Join CAP

NGFA’s Committee Apprentice Program (CAP) is an excellent opportunity for professionals with 5-10 years of experience to join a committee, learn about the Association, and network with industry colleagues and leaders. Each CAP participant is nominated by a supervisor at an NGFA-member company.
