Corn Classroom
Access corn education and resources for a variety of different ages and experience levels.
Education is an important part of Wisconsin Corn’s goal to connect people with the farmers, families and communities behind Wisconsin’s corn industry. The Wisconsin Corn Promotion Board believes that understanding where food, fuel and everyday products come from helps build a stronger connection between agriculture and consumers. Through educational programs and resources, Wisconsin Corn works to share accurate, accessible information about corn production, the farmers who grow it and the many ways corn contributes to our daily lives. By encouraging curiosity and creating opportunities to learn, we can help ensure the story of Wisconsin agriculture continues to be understood and valued for generations to come.
