Center for Crops Utilization Research

Welcome to the Center for Crops Utilization Research

The Center for Crops Utilization Research (CCUR) is a research, development, and technology transfer program. CCUR is focused on adding value to Midwest crops, biorenewables development, the application of biotechnology to increase value, and technology transfer to the private sector.

CCUR's Vision

No grain should leave the state without “adding value” and Iowa should become the preferred location for producing, marketing, processing and utilizing value-enhanced grain.
