SD Corn to hire separate leaders
South Dakota Corn will be hiring separate leaders for the Corn Utilization Council and for the Corn Growers Association. That was announced at a meeting of the Corn Utilization Council on Friday in Sioux Falls.  After coming out of executive session, Council President Grant Rix also announced they had agreed to offer a contract to Jon Farris of Mitchell to serve as interim director of operations and oversee their forensic audit. Â
Lawyer for the Council, Brett Koenecke of Pierre provided names of three firms that had inquired about conducting their forensic audit. The Council voted to offer a contract to ELO CPAs and Advisors of Sioux Falls. Rix also appointed a committee to oversee that financial audit. Â
Association President Scott Stahl said they’ve appointed a four-person search committee to look for a new executive director and will post the listing on the South Dakota Corn joint website by next Friday. The Council will have a separate listing in the near future. Â
