The Digest’s 2023 Multi-Slide Guide to Consider Corn Challenge IV

The Consider Corn Challenge IV is about finding game-changing new uses for field corn, leading to products with significant market demand, without detracting from an existing corn market. U.S. corn farmers continue to adopt new innovative production practices, resulting in improved year-over-year efficiency and the ability to produce more with less. These advances now support production that greatly exceeds annual U.S. corn demand. Additionally, new technologies are being deployed for clean product (sugar, lipid, protein) streams that can more efficiently be used as feedstocks for biobased processes. Director of Market Development at the National Corn Growers Association, Sarah McKay, highlighted the Consider Corn Challenge IV on a recent REenergize episode, presenting these slides.
