Nebraska Corn Board Press Release
LINCOLN, Neb. – Last week, farmers from across the country attended the National Corn Growers Association’s (NCGA) Corn Congress in Washington, D.C. During the event, Nebraska corn farmer Andy Jobman was elected to NCGA’s Corn Board.
“I am humbled to join the National Corn Board and continue serving corn farmers across Nebraska and the country,” said Jobman. “My commitment to the National Corn Growers Association remains the same as it always has: to uphold NCGA’s tradition of excellence and expertise and to use the relationships, knowledge and perspective I have gained to serve American corn farmers for corn and country.”
Jobman is a fifth-generation farmer from Gothenburg, Nebraska. Alongside his parents, brother and sister-in-law, his wife Becky and their two sons, he operates a diversified crop and livestock operation producing food-grade white and yellow corn, soybeans and alfalfa while raising cattle. Their farm combines family tradition with innovative management through precision agriculture, conservation practices and on-farm storage to deliver high-quality products to customers year-round.
Jobman brings more than a decade of leadership experience at the local, state and national levels of the corn industry. He currently serves as chair of NCGA’s Risk Management Action Team and previously served as chair of the Stewardship Action Team. He is also a past president of the Nebraska Corn Growers Association (NeCGA) and currently serves as chair of its Government Relations Committee.
“Andy has been a dedicated advocate for corn farmers and a respected leader within our industry for many years,” said Kelly Brunkhorst, executive director for Nebraska Corn Board and Nebraska Corn Growers Association. “His experience, perspective and commitment to serving growers will make him a valuable addition to the National Corn Board. We congratulate Andy on this well-deserved achievement.”
Jobman’s three-year term begins Oct. 1, 2026. The election took place during NCGA’s 2026 Corn Congress. The event focuses on shaping policy, setting priorities and meeting with policymakers for the U.S. corn industry. Corn farmer delegates from across the country participated in the discussions and election.
Jobman will join fellow Nebraskans Jason Lewis, Dan Nerud and Jan tenBensel on the 15-member Corn Board.
The Nebraska Corn Board is funded through a producer checkoff investment of a 1-cent-per-bushel on all corn marketed in the state and is managed by nine farmer directors. The mission of the Nebraska Corn Board is to increase the value and sustainability of Nebraska corn through promotion, market development and research.
