Corn referendum planned

The Tennessee Corn Referendum will be held Wednesday, November 28 and Thursday, November 29 at the UT Extension office in Dunlap. Tennessee corn farmers and landowners will vote on a statewide checkoff referendum to consider a one-cent per bushel assessment of corn sold. If the referendum passes, the funds will be used to finance a program of research, education, market development, marketing, advertising, and other methods designed to promote the increased production, consumption, use and sale of Tennessee corn products. Tennessee corn producers or landowners who share in the production costs or the proceeds of the sale of all varieties of corn, except popcorn, sweet corn and ornamental corn, are eligible to vote.
