The Alliance was formed in 2004 when two longstanding organizations, the New England Grain and Feed Council and the Eastern Federation of Feed Merchants, merged to combine their collective strengths. The Alliance Board of Directors meets several times a year to focus on our strategic objectives of advocacy, collaboration and education.
The Alliance changed its name from Northeast Ag & Feed Alliance to Northeast Agribusiness and Feed Alliance in 2014.
