“TN Corn is another voice that tells the everyday consumer who we really are and what we really produce.”

By promoting it and researching it, it leads to better yields that we get and the more efficient we are, it’s better for everybody.”

The ability to call up a buddy across the state and say, “This is what I’m seeing, what are you seeing? How can we fix this problem? How are you dealing with this/that?” So I would say probably the relationships we’ve made, that’s what has helped us grow the most so far.”
