What does the NPG do?

The National Policy Group (NPG) helps shape GrainGrowers’ policy positions and is an opportunity to represent the views of growers in your area on national issues affecting the industry.

The NPG has been looking at a wide range of issues over the past year and has helped GrainGrowers develop policy positions on low-emissions vehicles, agricultural land use, and people and capability, to name a few. Being on the NPG also provides an opportunity to represent grower views at various industry forums.
