The National Corn Growers Association announced Lane Howard has joined the staff as director of biofuels. “Ethanol is one of our marquee issues and is important to rural economies,” says Sean Arians, vice president of sustainable production and value chain engagement at NCGA. With close to ten years of experience handling agricultural issues, Howard most recently managed the market development portfolio for the Missouri Corn Merchandising Council and Missouri Corn Growers Association. In that role, he oversaw issues related to all corn use and demand growth, including biofuels, livestock, trade, new uses, research, and developing industry relationships. Howard also has experience on the national level, serving on various NCGA action teams and participating in monthly working group meetings for ethanol, new uses, and animal agriculture. He also played a key role in NCGA’s recent strategic planning process and served as a content area expert for the organization’s staff and state colleagues.
