Get the confetti poppers! We are celebrating the 16th birthday of Ohio's ethanol industry in 2024! Now that the industry can get their drivers' license, we wanted to steer the conversation into the track record of high performance.

On this episode we have Marlene Eick, Luke Crumley, and Brad Moffitt ready to roll and give you some backstory about how the ethanol industry came to Ohio. Did you know that your Corn Checkoff was a major reason companies like POET and Valero put their plants here? We can't take all the credit, but you'll hear about what we did to make it easier for them to swerve in our direction.

 

About Ohio Corn & Wheat

Ohio Corn & Wheat works to create opportunities for long-term Ohio corn and small grain grower profitability. It is a strategic alliance of two checkoffs and one membership-based organization. The Ohio Corn Checkoff and Ohio Small Grains Checkoff work to develop and expand markets, fund research and provide education about corn and wheat, respectively. The Ohio Corn & Wheat Growers Association is a membership organization advocating for supportive public policy on behalf of its farmer members.
