Texas Corn Producers

What Texas Corn Producers does

Texas Corn Producers (TCP) is a private non-profit agricultural association headquartered in Lubbock, Texas, that represents and serves corn farmers across the state. The organization operates through a dual-entity structure: the Texas Corn Producers Board (TCPB) administers mandatory corn checkoff assessments to fund research and market development, while the Texas Corn Producers Association (TCPA) is the voluntary-membership advocacy arm handling policy representation at state and federal levels. TCP is the Texas state affiliate of the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) and operates with 1-10 employees.

TCP's core offerings span research programs, insurance products, advocacy, and education. Checkoff-funded research delivered through Texas A&M AgriLife Research partnerships includes moth-trapping pest monitoring across 11 Texas High Plains counties (tracking southwestern corn borer, fall armyworm, western bean cutworm, and corn earworm), mycotoxin testing via the Texas High Plains Plant Disease Diagnostic Laboratory in Amarillo, corn variety trials, and water conservation studies. The organization's most significant recent product launch is CLIP (Crop and Livestock Income Protection), a 2026 umbrella revenue insurance product co-developed with Colorado Corn and AgriLogic and available across 13 states. Additional programs include the National Corn Yield Contest participation, corporate partnership tiers (Gold $1,000 / Silver $500), student scholarships and FFA grants, teacher curriculum resources, and the AllsTalk podcast.

TCP's revenue is generated through three streams: mandatory corn checkoff assessments on corn sales, voluntary TCPA membership dues, and corporate partnership fees. The organization's economic footprint is described in terms of broader industry impact — supporting thousands of Texas jobs and billions of dollars in production value — rather than operating-level revenue, which is not publicly disclosed. Strategic partnerships include Bayer, Pioneer/Corteva, AgTexas Farm Credit, Capital Farm Credit, and Pinion as corporate partners, alongside core strategic relationships with NCGA, AgriLogic, Colorado Corn, and the Triazine Network coalition (founded 1995).

Offerings include a newly launched federal crop insurance product (CLIP), farmer membership benefits, corporate sponsorship programs, educational resources, and checkoff-funded research such as moth trapping, mycotoxin testing, and corn variety trials.

The core offerings include membership-based advocacy services, the newly launched Crop and Livestock Income Protection (CLIP) insurance product, educational programs for students and teachers, the National Corn Yield Contest, and research initiatives funded through the corn checkoff. The TCPA Corporate Partner program provides industry engagement opportunities.
