Developing Markets for Corn
Individual farmers benefit by collaborating with one another and investing in commodity checkoff programs to expand demand for their products. Your 1 cent per bushel combines with other corn grower pennies in Iowa to drive market development that expands domestic use and increases export demand for corn in all forms.
For every dollar invested in international market development programs such as the U.S Grains Council or the U.S. Meat Export Federation, Iowa corn farmers see a 6:1 return on their checkoff investment. These partners work around the world to build markets, improve lives and enable trade for corn, DDGS, ethanol and cornfed meat products.
