USTN Membership
The US Testing Network (USTN) is a member-based organization founded in 2009. USTN’s purpose is to coordinate a rigorous testing program to evaluate public and private corn germplasm. The primary focus of USTN is to evaluate germplasm under development for the organic and non-transgenic grain industry. To reach that purpose, USTN’s members provide corn to be tested, locations for testing and/or financial support.

- Sponsors / Donors
Entry spot reservation typically is due to USTN by March 1. For more information about testing, please contact Chris Wilbeck, USTN Testing Coordinator, (515) 229-6988 or chris.ustn@practicalfarmers.org
