The Iowa Corn Promotion Board (ICPB) is composed of 17 corn growers, elected by their peers, who direct funds collected through the Iowa Corn Checkoff — a program designed to promote Iowa's corn industry.
The Iowa Corn Checkoff Program, established in 1977, has been a model for corn checkoff programs in 18 other states. The checkoff program collects one-half cent for each bushel of Iowa corn sold into commercial channels and is refundable.
The ICPB, and the growers it represents, are actively working to create an economic climate in which the Iowa corn industry will flourish through research, market development and education.

Corn Growers Association
The Iowa Corn Growers Association (ICGA) brings growers together to
proactively manage issues that advance the Iowa corn industry. The
ICGA's lobbying and legislative efforts, which are financed through
membership dollars, target everyday issues that directly affect corn
growers and their livelihood.
The association's nearly 6,000 members also work to build relationships with business and industry. Through all these efforts, the ICGA is advancing the Iowa corn industry by providing corn growers with a voice in Iowa, Washington, D.C., and around the world.
