摘要：	This year, the National Grain and Feed Association celebrates its 125th anniversary. NGFA is one of the many, many ag organizations closely allied with the barge industry, and it's one of the oldest and most important. Together they amplify our industry's voice in Congress. When the NGFA was founded in 1896, The Waterways Journal had only been publishing for nine years, covering a barge industry that many believed was on the verge of extinction as railroads threatened to outcompete it. The NGFA's members-farmers, grain elevator operators, seed companies, terminal managers and farm suppliers-knew better. As prime customers of barge transport, they know better than anyone the importance of low-cost, reliable water transportation. NGFA members have been consistent and staunch supporters of waterways improvement projects. It's safe to say that many important water infrastructure projects would not have gotten built without the support of ag interests.
