What we do.
Kentucky Corn strives to create a future for Kentucky corn farmers where they can operate successfully, grow demand and foster an understanding of corn farmers and the industry.

Kentucky Corn Growers Association
The Kentucky Corn Growers Association is a grassroots organization representing the interests of more than 6,000 corn farmers throughout Kentucky. We are committed to increasing the profitability of corn production through sound policies, continued market development and strong involvement in the political process.

Kentucky Corn Promotion Council

This special fund makes much-needed market development, promotion, education, and research possible, all of which benefit the Kentucky corn industry, agriculture, and economy.

KY Corn Supports the Kentucky Farmland Transition Initiative
In April 2024, the Kentucky Farm Bureau launched the Kentucky Farmland in Transition Initiative to support farmers and landowners in preserving Kentucky farmland for active agricultural use. As a proud supporter, KY Corn acknowledges the urgency of this effort—over the past 20 years, Kentucky has lost 17,000 farms and 1.4 million acres of farmland.
Defending the Tools That Grow Kentucky Corn
A recent report by the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission raised alarm about the use of pesticides, namely atrazine and glyphosate. While garnering media attention, these claims overlook decades of sound science and the practical realities Kentucky farmers face in growing safe, sustainable, and affordable food.
NCGA Comments on House Budget Reconciliation Legislation
The National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) praised the passage of key tax extensions, championed by the organization, which passed the House Committee on Ways and Means as part of the budget reconciliation process.
Triazine Network Statement on MAHA Commission Report
The assertion in the MAHA Commission’s report that pesticides such as atrazine are responsible for childhood illness is irresponsible, inaccurate, and is not backed by credible scientific data, according to the Triazine Network, a coalition of agriculture groups involved in the regulation of the triazine herbicides including atrazine. The report as presented creates threatening, groundless fears, and unfairly casts doubt on the integrity of the federal pesticidal review process. Several of the agriculture organizations involved with the Triazine Network released statements on the MAHA Commission report questioning the inclusion of highly regulated crop protection tools.
