Ok, maybe not a challenge to you, exactly, but to the industry as a whole. On this episode Marlene Eick, Director of Marketing & Communications, Wendy Osborn, Director of Market Development, and Jessy Woodworth, Manager of Communicaitons, share the news about an award-winning Ohio company who found a way to use corn in producing industrial chemicals. It sounds complex, because it is, but we have a simple way to explain it. The Consider Corn Challenge is a bi-annual (Marlene's current least-favorite word in the English language) competetion for the most innovative use of corn. There are plenty of rules, which you can find here: https://ncga.com/get-involved/consider-corn-challenge  As a bonus this week, Marlene Eick and Producer Jessy share Christmas gift ideas for special people in your life.  This episode of Kernels is brought to you by Pivot Bio.
