A big focus of the South Dakota corn checkoff is on ethanol production and promotion. “We’re just continually trying to support ethanol and ethanol at the gas pump, while providing consumer education and hopefully keep that needle moving a little bit at a time,” explained Jim Ketelhut, president, South Dakota Corn Utilization Council.” The push for cleaner fuels helps both the environment and corn farmers. “Anything we can do to support environmentally friendly fuel is going to help the corn grind, and in the long run, our bottom line. When you have companies like United and Delta Airlines commit to 100 percent sustainable aviation fuel by 2030, it makes you sit up and pay attention.”
