(Indianapolis, IN) – Greensburg area farmer Tim Gauck was re-elected last week as president of the Indiana Corn Marketing Council (ICMC), which is the state’s corn checkoff program.
Gauck grows corn, soybeans and wheat on his farm in rural Decatur and Rush counties.
He started farming in 1972, and was first elected to the ICMC board in 2017.
Gauck is an at-large representative on the board, which means he was elected by farmers from across Indiana.
He said expanding the availability of higher blends of ethanol and exporting Indiana-grown corn to new markets around the world are among ICMC’s priorities.
“I am honored to lead Indiana’s corn checkoff program again in 2025,” Gauck said. “We have a challenging agenda to tackle this year, and I think we’re ready to get started. Indiana’s ethanol industry has been a great benefit to the state’s corn growers for the past 15 years or so, and we want to protect it and expand it wherever possible. We also want to actively find opportunities to ship Indiana corn to markets around the world.”
Matthew Lucas, a farmer from Brownstown, was re-elected as ICMC’s vice president.
Vincennes farmer Susan Brocksmith was elected as the board’s secretary for 2025.
And Ron Hensley, a farmer from Daleville, was selected as treasurer.
