From the field to classrooms. As another school year begins, Nebraska corn is helping students learn and create. Corn is used in products like crayons, adhesives, paper coatings and other bio-based materials found in classrooms across the country.

Nebraska drivers bought more gallons of E15 fuel in 2025, a nearly 45% jump from the year before. The increase comes as Nebraska corn farmers invest checkoff dollars in the fuel infrastructure needed to make higher ethanol blends available.

We are proud of Jay Reiners (@HunterFarmer70) for being elected chairman of the U.S. Grains and BioProducts Council today.

[U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council @usgrainscouncil]

The delegates of the U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council elected Jay Reiners of the Nebraska Corn Board as chairman of its USGBC Board of Directors at its 66th Annual Board of Delegates Meeting held in Milwaukee, WI, today.

“Coming from Nebraska, American agriculture has always been in my blood, and I’ve felt a responsibility to represent agricultural resilience and innovation for a very long time,” Reiners said.

“I truly appreciate you trusting me to lead this outstanding organization in the role as your chairman.”

Reiners lives near Juanita, Nebraska, where he farmed corn and soybeans with his wife for 35 years. He is now retired from farming but is still active in the industry as a consultant. He previously served on the Council’s Western Hemisphere A-team and Asia A-team for four years each and was the chairman for the Nebraska Corn Board.

Reiners shared his goals for the year and unveiled his chairman’s theme, Feeding and Fueling the World, during his incoming remarks.

“We have a responsibility to feed and fuel the world, and we ensure that our products – U.S. corn, sorghum, barley, ethanol and DDGS – are the best in the world and keep getting better,” Reiners said.

“It’s an honest picture of what we contribute – not just in the United States but around the world through the exports we send to those who want and need them.”

In addition to Reiners, the delegates elected Jay Fischer of the Missouri Corn Growers Association as vice chairman and Jon Rosenstiel of the Illinois Corn Marketing Board as secretary-treasurer. Jennie Schmidt of the Maryland Grain Producers Utilization Board was re-elected and Mike LeFever of Colorado Corn Promotion Council was elected as at-large directors.

The newly elected sector director is Hagan Rose from Eco-Energy as the ethanol sector director and Adam Schindler of the United Sorghum Checkoff Program was reelected as the sorghum sector director and Josh Roe of Kansas Corn Commission was reelected as the state checkoff sector director.

The USGBC Board of Directors now includes:

Jay Reiners, Nebraska Corn Board: Chairman
Jay Fischer, Missouri Corn Growers Association: Vice Chairman
Jon Rosenstiel, Illinois Corn Marketing Board: Secretary-Treasurer
Mark Wilson, Illinois Corn Marketing Board: Past Chairman
Jennie Schmidt, Maryland Grain Producers Utilization Board: At-Large Director

Dylan Rosier, Missouri Corn Merchandizing Council: At-Large Director
Greg Alber, Iowa Corn Growers Association: At-Large Director
Sean Broderick, CHS: Agribusiness Sector Director

Jolene Riessen, Iowa Corn Growers Association: Corn Sector Director
Adam Schindler, United Sorghum Checkoff Program: Sorghum Sector Director
Josh Roe, Kansas Corn Commission: State Checkoff Sector Director

Summer means more miles on the road and more opportunities for Nebraska corn. Nebraska ranks 2nd nationally for ethanol production, with 24 operating plants producing over 2.3 billion gallons annually. Supporting ethanol helps strengthen demand for corn grown right at home.
