The Reaching for Excellence award, established by the National Corn Growers Association and the Grower Services Action Team in 2015, highlights state corn grower associations' challenges.

The Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers Association took home the award during Commodity Classic, but other submissions are being highlighted by the association. Among those is the Nebraska Corn Growers Association.
