During the 2014 Corn Utilization Technology Conference a special presentation was made by Tom Mueller, Chairman of the NCGA Research and Business Development Action Team. Tom is a corn grower from Illinois.
He presented a plaque to the Indiana Corn Marketing Council for their significant support of the newly named Gary Lamie Graduate Student Poster Competition. Accepting was Dean Eppley who is a director for Indiana Corn and member of the RBD Action Team.
The action team chose to name the competition for Gary Lamie since he was so passionate about helping students. Gary was president of the Indiana Corn Marketing Council but passed away last year. His wife Kathleen was on hand to accept a memorial plaque in his name as well.
