“Carson previously served on the North Dakota Corn Growers Association board, and has experience working in this capacity,” says Jean Henning, North Dakota Corn Utilization Council Executive Director. “We were happy to see Carson run for a position on the Council board. The ideas and expertise he brings to the table will be key for moving the needle at NDCUC.”
Klosterman looks forward to the chance to further promote corn in North Dakota, and nationwide. “The corn checkoff program in North Dakota gives farmers a chance to come together to promote a great commodity, and to find ways to add value for the producer,” he shared. “The Council also has opportunities to get involved nationally through partner organizations that make a difference in market development and trade. I’d like to be a part of that connection, too.”
