Miles from home, KyCorn had the opportunity to showcase it’s ethanol programs with the nearly 4,700 farmers who attended this year’s Commodity Classic in San Antonio.
At center in the trade show, was KyCorn’s demonstration car, a 1965 AC Cobra replica optimized to run on E85. KyCorn sponsored the build and utilizes the car to promote the benefits of ethanol at events across the country. The car prompted many conversations about ethanol promotions.
Thank you to Elissa Gilliam for coming to Commodity Classic to interact with farmers and better understand their top priorities.
KyCorn also hosted an open house in NCGA’s booth to meet Elissa Gilliam, Congressman James Comer’s Legislative Director. She discussed legislative priorities with farmer attendees.
Programs Director Adam Andrews addressed farmer leaders about high octane fuels and how relevant they can be for corn grind.
KyCorn President Richard Preston and other leaders participated in Corn Congress and meetings to share Kentucky growers’ priorities.
We received some much needed help with the Cobra while KyCorn leaders were in meetings. Thank you Alane Preston, Renee Kuegel, and Laura Schwenke for your help.
