Where do they stand? Presidential candidates taking part in the Jan. 3 Iowa Caucus were asked to answer a survey on questions that relate to corn growers' legislative priorities. Topics included in the survey are: ethanol, farm programs, trade, EPA and transportation. You can view the survey here.

Based on survey responses submitted by the presidential candidates and media tracking, each candidate was scored in regards to corn legislative priorities. If a candidate failed to complete the survey, the committee used published statements, official records or information from the candidate’s website to complete the voter guide.
