Colorado Corn Cultivating Opportunities

Market Development Action Team (MDAT)

The Market Development Action Team was established to oversee and provide input on various Colorado Corn market development projects. We are currently engaged in an ethanol Blender Pump Pilot project, implementing an ethanol infrastructure grant through an Advancing Colorado’s Renewable Energy (ACRE) program, United States Meat Export Federation funding, and many other promotional and educational activities.
