With a solid foundation in business analytics and hands-on experience in the ethanol industry, Justin Moore joins the IL Corn team ready to support efforts that bring real value to Illinois farmers. His background includes a Market Development internship with Growth Energy, where he gained firsthand knowledge of biofuels and their role in strengthening corn markets. Now, he's putting that knowledge to work, advancing corn utilization and helping grow demand for renewable fuels. 


Get to know him more in this fun Q and A:

  • If you could trade places with any fictional character for a day, who would it be and why?
  • Tough one but I would have to go with Spiderman. My younger self would not allow me to say anyone else as Spiderman was and still is my favorite superhero. 
  • What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
  • The best advice I have ever received is a cliche but still true. If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life. 
  • Do you have any hidden talents or surprising hobbies?
  • I am an avid golf and boat lover. Been playing golf since I was 10 and have been a huge lover of being on the lake since I was little. 
  • If your life had a theme song, what would it be?
  • Running Down A Dream by Tom Petty. 


Whether it’s navigating the future of biofuels or contributing behind the scenes, his work will help position corn as a solution in today’s evolving markets. We're glad to have him on the team working on behalf of Illinois corn farmers.
