About Didion

Together, we make a difference. We feed and fuel the world.

Cutting-edge technology enables Didion to examine each kernel of corn individually, determining its ultimate destination. The finest parts of the kernel are destined for grocery store shelves, appearing in popular corn products such as snacks, cereals, cornbread, and even beer. Additionally, these high-quality kernels are used in famine-relief meals, providing essential nutrition to millions of families in underdeveloped countries.

Other parts of the kernel are utilized in our ethanol production facility, transformed into distillers’ grain to feed livestock worldwide, or converted into industrial corn binders found in various household and office products.

Didion sources corn directly from over 500 local farm producers, significantly contributing to the local economy. Proudly supporting the backbone of America—agriculture—Didion has been family-owned and operated since 1972. We are committed to creating opportunities, not only to nourish your family with a rewarding, great-paying career but also to feed the world and fuel your ambitions.
