(Indianapolis, IN) – The Indiana Corn Marketing Council (ICMC), the state’s corn checkoff program, is looking for candidates to serve on its Board of Directors.

Four veteran board directors are finishing nine years of service in 2025.

Hoosier farmers interested in directing Indiana’s corn checkoff investments may petition to run for one of the five seats up for election by June 1.

ICMC manages the corn checkoff investments with the goal of supporting and growing Indiana’s corn industry.

“Since the Indiana corn checkoff was created, Hoosier corn growers have benefitted from the volunteer leadership of those who have served on the ICMC board,” said ICMC President and Greensburg area farmer Tim Gauck. “The corn checkoff relies on farmers to fill these leadership positions to help the Indiana corn industry remain strong and effective. New perspectives and ideas will help our corn research and promotion efforts.”

Voting will take place at Purdue Cooperative Extension Service county offices from August 11-15 or by absentee ballot, which will be available in July.

Farmers can access all necessary forms at www.incornandsoy.org/ICMCelection or by calling the ICMC office at 1-800-735-0195.

Forms are also available at all Purdue Extension county offices.

Newly elected directors will begin a three-year term on October 1. ICMC directors can serve three consecutive full terms or a total of nine consecutive years.
