Missouri Corn

This is a great opportunity to showcase our state’s agriculture industry in a creative way, said MCMC Chairman Jay Schutte of Benton City. While you might not think of whiskey as a major use of corn, for many, it is another way to enjoy one of our state’s top crops. We look forward to supporting this competition and finding the best Missouri has to offer in corn spirits. https://www.morningagclips.com/mo-craft-distilleries-compe/

We’re in the homestretch! According to yesterday’s USDA Crop Progress and Condition Report, corn #plant21 in the Show-Me State is 90 percent complete, 2 points ahead of the 5-year norm. Corn emerged is at 77 percent.

Great morning getting to meet this year’s Missouri FFA Association state officer team and taking all things corn and ethanol. Be on the lookout for them this year as they travel the state in the ethanol powered corn/FFA truck!

May is #WorldTradeMonth. Nearly 18% of U.S. corn is exported to partners across the globe. And that's just the kernels. Value-added corn in the form of meat, ethanol, and distillers grains are also vital markets for corn growers and in demand around the world. #tradeworks
