It’s official now. Our good buddy Mark Lambert is a Senior Communications Manager for the National Corn Growers Association. The picture is him hard at work during the recent NAFB Washington Watch program.

“Mark is such a valuable addition to our NCGA communications team. We are delighted to have him join the NCGA team,” said NCGA Communications Director Nancy Bunker Koester. “Our farmer members and state organizations will benefit greatly from the wealth of experience Mark brings to NCGA after working more than two decades on corn and ethanol issues for Illinois farmers.”

Previously, Lambert served as communications director for the Illinois Corn Growers Association and Illinois Corn Marketing Board. He has been actively engaged in agriculture and related issues for more than three decades, with 20 years of experience in the corn industry and 12 years covering agri-business as a journalist and columnist for the Peoria Journal Star and Illinois Agri-News.
