Where Corn Meets the Road: Iowa corn farmers promote ethanol through Iowa Corn 350 NASCAR

Iowa corn is again sponsoring the Iowa Corn 350, using the NASCAR race to promote ethanol and connect with consumers.

The group says the exposure boosts awareness of E15 and the role that farmers play in biofuels.

More than 1,000 farmers are expected to attend this summer’s event.
