Farmers Encouraged to Vote in Corn Checkoff Director Elections

June 12, 2015

Elections for the Iowa Corn Promotion Board (ICPB) will be held on July 21, 2015. Iowa corn growers elect peers to serve on the ICPB to oversee the investment of funds generated by the Iowa corn checkoff.  The Board’s primary activities include domestic and foreign market development, research into new and value-added corn uses, and education about the corn industry. 

Corn farmers in Crop Reporting Districts 4 (West Central), 5 (Central), 8 (South Central) and 9 (Southeastern) can vote at their local county extension office for their representation on the ICPB for a 3-year term on July 21, 2015.

Anyone who has produced and marketed 250 bushels of corn or more in Iowa in the previous marketing year is eligible to vote in the election.  Producers unable to visit the extension office on July 21 may vote by absentee ballot.  Absentee ballots are available by request until June 29 by contacting the Iowa Corn office at 515-225-9242 or iowacorn.org. Absentee ballots must be postmarked no later than July 21.
