WHAT WE DO
Colorado Corn Promotion Council (CCPC) represents the grain corn farmers throughout the state of Colorado! Did you know, more than 3,000 corn producers are tirelessly focused on increasing sustainability while still meeting global demand for food, fiber, and fuel? This is a dynamic that brings out the very best in Colorado’s future-focused farmers.
Through this organization, farmers are able to share their love for the land and their way of life with Colorado’s kids and adults – many of whom have never set foot upon a farm – about the wonders of the sustaining and versatile crop that is grain corn.
Established and led by farmers, Colorado Corn Promotion Council is expanding opportunities, advancing the use of the most innovative technology and production practices that result in profitable, sustainable corn crops.
