Description
This episode of Kernels is dedicated to understanding what the shuck is going on with the Mexico biotech corn ban and what it means to Ohio corn growers. Hosts Marlene Eick and Luke Crumley give a birds-eye view on corn marketing and why growers should be very concerned about the recent decree, and then are joined by Angus Kelly from the National Corn Growers Association who explains what you can do about it. Want to take a guess at how many times Marlene and Luke say the phrase, "corn is a fungible commodity"? Hint: it's a lot. Marlene Eick is the Director of Marketing and Communication at Ohio Corn & Wheat, and Luke Crumley is the Director of Public Policy and Nutrient Management. Kernels is a production of Ohio Corn & Wheat and hosts conversations about the corn and wheat industry in Ohio, their respective checkoff programs, and the work the Grower's Association is doing in on behalf of Ohio grain farmers. 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.
