Nebraska Corn Board launches statewide pro-corn campaign

The Nebraska Corn Board announced that it will conduct a  “Powering Nebraska’s Economy with Corn,”  a statewide radio and print advertising campaign aimed at rural and urban consumers.

Corn ethanol and corn prices has been heavily criticized in recent weeks, but Nebraska has avoided some of the construction slowdowns that have plagued other states. Last week, construction got underway on a 226 Mgy ethanol plant in Aurora.
