I’ll push back on that a little. In Iowa the corn promotion board spends millions sponsoring Indy car and NASCAR races, college football games and other nonsense. Board members and employees get access to vip tickets for all these events. Board members are paid plus receive mileage and meals. Usually it’s the same tired old men on the board as well. Oh and the ceo makes about 500k


So when are you running for the board if it's such a glamorous job full of perks.
If you have it all figured out on how checkoff funds should be spent you could transform the industry


My point is the board is not necessary, $22 million a year budget with very little to show for it. Oh, but there is the Iowa Corn Cy Hawk series and the Iowa Corn NASCAR race. Did I mention the Iowa Corn junkets?
