Kentucky Corn Promotion Council
The Kentucky Corn Promotion Council is a board of
seven farmers from across the state: 4 are elected by the Kentucky
Corn Growers’ Association Board of Directors, 2 are appointed by the
Kentucky Farm Bureau president, and 1 appointed by the Kentucky
Commissioner of Agriculture. This producer council, with the
assistance of the KyCGA, has the mission of increasing the
profitability of all Kentucky corn producers. They do this by
developing and maintaining new and existing markets for corn and
corn products.
The Kentucky Corn Promotion Council collects and administers a .0025
checkoff, which is remitted on corn sold in the Commonwealth. This
special fund makes much needed market development, promotion,
education, and research possible, all which benefit the Kentucky
corn industry, agriculture, and economy.
