Corn growers in 22 states throughout the country have the opportunity
to invest a small portion from the sale of every bushel of corn into
checkoff funding for investment into research and development to increase
demand and add value to the U.S. corn crop. Grower-led checkoff boards
invest funds individually and at the state level and collectively through
NCGA to further research efforts into value added technology and business
development. NCGA corn research programs are focused on three main areas
to fully leverage available funding to create processes that expand
the potential of corn usage and develop profit opportunities for U.S.
corn growers.
