I’m very proud of the work the CMPM has done and if you have any questions about the CMPM, I’m happy to talk with you. For farmers, an investment in the checkoff is ultimately an investment in your future. Organizations like the CMPM are critical to the future of our industry because they ensure that someone is working on behalf of farmers to defend existing markets and seeking out new and emerging markets for corn. This increase could create a rebound in the state’s farm economy. In 2009, Minnesota corn producers passed a referendum conducted by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture to increase the state corn checkoff rate from 1/2. Manitoba Crop Alliance will begin collecting check-off from the specified. The check-off amounts are unchanged to what was in place with the five amalgamating organizations and remains refundable. The study found that the farm price differential in Michigan is steady and there is a chance of an increase in the future. This allows for the collection of a mandatory check-off from all sales of wheat (spring and winter), barley, sunflowers, corn, and flax in Manitoba. While our industry is currently facing many challenges, there are opportunities for growth and reasons to remain optimistic. We also have the Port of Detroit which exports more than 100 million gallons of ethanol each year. Michigan is also at an advantage because of our proximity to Canada, a major importer of ethanol. has some advantages over foreign competitors when it comes to ethanol and DDGS because we have built a strong domestic ethanol industry which gives us the processing infrastructure and know-how to take advantage of these opportunities. We are careful guardians of farmers’ dollars and task ourselves to be prudent and responsible in investing the assessments. USGC works to expand international markets for corn, ethanol and DDGS. The CCAC manages the investments of Colorado’s corn check-off dollars (one penny per bushel of grain corn produced in the state.) The funds are spent on research, promotion, market development and education efforts. In order to take advantage of opportunities in the ethanol export markets, checkoff dollars are used to partner with the U.S. The market outlook study also found that ethanol exports are our most promising opportunity for increasing corn use in the near future. In 2015 alone the export of red meat added approximately 45 cents to the price of a bushel of corn. According to USMEF, the indirect exports of corn and DDGS through beef and pork exports is expected to grow by 33 percent from 2016 to 2025. USMEF works to create new opportunities and develop existing international markets for U.S. To request a form by phone, call the KCC office at 78. The voucher is a two-part form that is filled out by the grower and the first purchaser of the corn. In order to help increase red meat exports the CMPM invests checkoff dollars in the U.S. The commission staff will assign a number to each voucher and send it to the grower who is requesting the refund.
