ICMC will hold elections in August
 
INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Corn Marketing Council (ICMC), the state’s corn checkoff program, will host elections for Board of Director positions in Districts 5 and 8 and also for two, statewide, at-large seats.
Absentee voting is open now through Aug. 7. Absentee ballots can be downloaded from the ICMC website at incornandsoy.org/ICMCvoting or by calling the ICMC office at 317-644-2863.
Farmers may vote in person at Purdue Cooperative Extension Service county offices from Aug. 12-16. All eligible Hoosier corn producers, defined as any person engaged in the business of producing and marketing corn in Indiana under the producer’s own name or the name of an entity in which the producer has ownership, may vote in the election.
The state is divided into nine districts with one director representing each of the state’s Congressional districts and six at-large seats representing all of Indiana. The following candidates will appear on the ballots:
- Scott Smith, a Windfall, Ind., farmer – District 5, which includes the counties of Bartholomew, Boone, Clinton, Decatur, Grant, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Howard, Johnson, Madison, Marion, Morgan, Rush, Shelby and Tipton.
- Matthew Lucas, a Brownstown, Ind., farmer – District 8, which includes the counties of Brown, Crawford, Floyd, Harrison, Jackson, Lawrence, Monroe, Orange, Perry and Washington.
- Janis Highley, a Warren, Ind., farmer – an at-large candidate who would represent all 92 Indiana counties.

The ICMC board manages state corn checkoff investments and determines promotional, educational and research activities that can strengthen Indiana’s corn industry.
