Dive Deeper into the Corn Industry
Kansas Corn Collegiate Academy
The Kansas Corn Collegiate Academy gives college students the opportunity to dive deeper into the corn industry, providing insights into the opportunities and hurdles that lie ahead of the corn industry and how their future career paths may be impacted.

Students will participate in a day at the Statehouse in Topeka and Corn Congress in Washington D.C.
