Corn Caucus Project: Overall Results
The Iowa Caucuses are just around the corner and will be held on Tuesday, January 3. ICGA members have a tool to help them learn what the Presidential candidates are saying about agricultural policies through the Corn Caucus Project.
Presidential candidates were asked to answer a survey on questions that relate to corn growers' legislative priorities. Topics included in the survey are: ethanol, farm programs, trade, EPA and transportation. You can view the survey
here.
Based on survey responses submitted by the presidential candidates and media tracking, each candidate was scored in regards to corn legislative priorities. If a candidate failed to complete the survey, the committee used published statements, official records or information from the candidate’s website to complete the voter guide.
The Corn Caucus Project does not provide an endorsement of any candidate. You can view each survey with candidates’ answers and issue tracking by

The Corn Caucus Project does not provide an endorsement of any candidate. If you have any questions please call the Iowa Corn Office at 515.225.9242 or email
