North Dakota Corn Utilization Council

Food

The raw materials of corn-starch, protein, fiber and oil-are very versatile and found as an ingredient in many foods.

Feed

A major use for corn in ND is livestock feed, in whole or ground corn, corn silage, or dried distiller’s grains — a co-product of ethanol production.

Fiber

The ND Corn Council is proud to support value-added research for development of products that use corn fibers. Read more about value-added research here.

Fuel

Ethanol, the clean burning fuel made from corn, is produced in 5 plants in North Dakota. Learn more about ethanol here.
