Policy & Advocacy The organization operates multiple checkoffs and a membership-based growers association, indicating ongoing engagement with policy advocacy and market development. This presents opportunities to offer policy research, regulatory alert services, or lobbying support platforms that streamline stakeholder communications and coalition-building.

Market Expansion Active efforts to develop and expand markets for corn and small grains, plus a focus on funding research and education, suggest demand for market intelligence, export readiness programs, branding support, and agribusiness partnerships that can accelerate market entry strategies.

Communication & Outreach Recent hires in communications and policy leadership point to a strengthened external messaging and stakeholder engagement function. This signals a potential need for communications tech, content management, CRM for member relations, and analytics to measure outreach impact.

Industry Collaboration Partnerships with universities (funding for research) and notable industry recognition imply openness to collaborative projects. Sales opportunities exist for data services, research partnerships, grant administration tools, and joint-venture platforms that support applied agronomic studies.

Operational Footprint Small to mid-size organization with regional presence and multiple offices previously, indicating potential for scalable tech solutions (cloud-based collaboration, secure member portals, event management) that fit lean teams while enabling policy, education, and grower outreach programs.
