fiscal year on a 'ugh note
and is relocating o new
facilities in west St. Louis

The move represents
the first time in the or
ganization's 45-year his
tory it will own its head
quarters instead of
leasing the property as it
has in the past. NCGA
Chairman Tim Hume
said there arc many rea
sons tor the move
"A primary reason is
the fact we will actually
own this building," he
said "Ihc corn growers
who provide the lunds
loi our base ol operations
through then checkoff
dollars want to sec more
equity and we can't pro
\idc thal by renting a
space By owning the fa
cility, they will see a re
turn on their invest
ment "
NC (iA is a national
organization loundcd in
1957 and represents
more than 32,000 dues
paymg corn growers
from 48 states In 1984,
