Interest Groups Key part of iron triangle Interest Groups USDACongress More often than not, the interest groups are the ones that get the attention of USDA and/or Congress

Farm Organizations General farm/agribusiness organizations –American Farm Bureau Federation –National Farmers Union Commodity organizations –National Corn Growers –National Cotton Council –Every commodity has one, and some have multiple All other things equal, the more specific the cause/interest, the more effective the group But all other things are seldom equal

Commodity Organizations Most effective organizations in agriculture because of focused commodity interests Most effective are those that represent entire industry (NCC) Beef has had conflicts among cattlemen and NCBA If producer organization goes head-to-head with agribusiness, agribusiness normally wins (ex., packer in beef) Almost always have related state organizations Party alignment is an interesting issue

Commodity Organizations ex. NCBA Advertise Educate Provide services to members

Public Interest Groups Typically focus on only 1 issue Environment (Sierra Club, National Resources Defense Council, Environmental Working Group, American Farmland Trust) Hunger lobby (Bread for the World) Animal rights (Humane Society of the United States, P.E.T.A.) Consumer lobby (CFA, CW, CU, Center for Science in the Public Interest)

Agribusinesses/Trade Associations Restaurant Associations Equipment dealers Chemical Applicators International Dairy Foods Association
