Iowa Corn Growers Help With Flood Relief Efforts
Posted: June 26, 2008
Iowa corn growers are helping communities in the state recover from flooding.
The Iowa Corn Growers Association and Iowa Corn Promotion Board have donated $2,500 worth of ethanol gift certificates to the Red Cross to help with the transportation costs associated with flood relief efforts.
“Thousands of Iowa growers and their communities have been hit by these floods,” said Tim Recker, ICGA president. “We already know ethanol helps consumers control their every day fuel costs, so it seems only right for ethanol to help with fuel costs during the recovery.”
The groups announced the gift at the Iowa Corn Indy 250 race last weekend. The donation, in the form of 250 $10 gift certificates, will give the Red Cross flexibility since the certificates can be easily distributed and used anywhere ethanol-blended fuel is sold in Iowa.

Tim and Friends,
Good work w/ Red Cross. Our prayers and hopes for relief from the rains and a rapid recovery for those affected in what has been a very tough early 2008. Hope to see you soon.
