Kansas Corn recently joined the U.S. Grains and Bioproducts Council and Kansas Sorghum on a tour highlighting Kansas agriculture, ethanol production, and grain markets.

The group kicked off the morning at the Cardinal Colwich Ethanol Plant, where Scott Tilton with The Andersons discussed DDGS (distillers dried grains with solubles) and CFPs (corn fermented protein) and answered questions from the group. Following the discussion, participants toured the facility before heading west to visit additional ethanol plants, grain storage facilities, and Vulgamore Family Farms.

The tour will wrap up with a trip to Seattle for Export Exchange, connecting industry leaders from around the world to explore opportunities in U.S. grain exports and markets.

"While waiving state and federal taxes on on-road fuel would not be a magic bullet to alleviate the pain from record fuel prices, it would amount to a 51.4 cent per gallon decrease in the price of diesel when hauling crops and cattle. In today's tight and negative margin environment, every little bit helps."

Located along the Kansas-Nebraska border, the Freitag family of Free Day Farms LLC grows field corn, white corn and popcorn.

The family has a long history with specialty corn. Nate’s great-grandfather grew white corn during his time farming, and the Freitag family has been growing it consistently for about five years. Nate’s dad, Lonnie Freitag, began growing popcorn in the 1980s and sold it to commercial processors through the 2010s. In 2015, the family established Free Day Popcorn, allowing them to grow, package and ship popcorn directly from their farm.

Nate Freitag's Update:

“We were able to get back in the field today after about a two-week shutdown due to rain. Our area received about 10 inches of rain in September. Luckily, we started harvest earlier than ever before and were able to complete our popcorn harvest before the most recent rains.

"Right now, we are picking white corn. We take it to several different places, including a mill in Oklahoma and some local co-ops that deliver to Mexico. The corn is standing well, and there doesn’t seem to be too much sprouting or disease. We’re happy we paid a little extra for a fungicide application this summer.

"Last year, we had a very strong wind event in August that flattened a lot of our corn. It’s a lot more fun to pick standing corn!”

White corn is primarily used by milling facilities and food manufacturers to make some of our favorite foods, including tortillas, tortilla chips, cornmeal, grits and corn flour. White corn is also an important part of the U.S.-Mexico agricultural trade relationship, with Mexico importing U.S. white corn for food use.
