Colorado Corn Honored for Support of the "Blend Your Own Ethanol" Campaign

Sioux Falls, SD (August 2010) Eleven corn grower states and the National Corn Growers Association have been honored by the American Coalition for Ethanol (ACE) with its “Paul Dana Marketing Vision Award” for their support of the national “Blend Your Own Ethanol” campaign.
