Who We Are

The Corn Outreach & Research Network (CORN) is a collaborative, multi-state partnership of university Extension specialists, agronomists, and researchers dedicated to advancing corn production through science-based agronomic solutions. Our mission is to deliver research-driven information that empowers farmers, consultants, and agribusinesses to make informed decisions for productive, sustainable, and profitable corn production systems.

By aligning research and extension efforts across state lines, we address nationally relevant challenges and critical priorities in corn agronomy – ranging from nutrient and pest management to emerging technologies and cropping systems. Together, we strengthen the impact of research and extension programming and elevate the success of corn producers across the U.S.
