Texas Corn Producers serves the state's corn farmers through two organizations, the Texas Corn Producers Board and the Texas Corn Producers Association. TCPB is a statewide board funded by a voluntary checkoff program. Checkoff funds are used for research, education and promotion to further the corn industry in Texas, and to create better marketing opportunities for farmers. TCPA is the advocacy arm of Texas corn farmer representation on both a state and national level. TCPA’s mission is to build a strong organizational support system for corn that will represent the interests and concerns of farmers from all regions of Texas.
