One of the highest priorities for Ohio Corn & Wheat is the promotion of ethanol in liquid fuels. This comes with a laundry list of challenges. Consumers don't know what ethanol is and how it works, retailers have legislative hurdles to get through to offer the product, growers may not fully grasp what their product is being made into, electric vehicles are becoming more and more of a hot topic, and so much more. It's a good thing we have the man for the job.

Today we sat down with Brad Moffitt, a tenured member of the agricultural community, self proclaimed gear-head, and brand new Ethanol Specialist for Ohio Corn & Wheat. The position was created by the Corn Checkoff Board and Growers Association to acknowledge promote demand for ethanol and remove some of the issues holding it up.
