The Hoosier Horsepower Page

 

It’s no secret that Indiana’s biofuels industry has been
a driving force in Indiana’s economy for the last 5 years.
As suppliers to the ethanol and biodiesel industries,

Hoosier corn and soybean farmers are teaming up with another driving force - the Indianapolis Colts – to promote biofuels across the state. In a new partnership called Hoosier Horsepower, the state’s most widely recognized sports franchise has teamed up with Indiana’s corn and soybean farmers through their respective checkoff organizations to educate Indiana consumers about the many benefits of using biofuels.

Each week the Hoosier Horsepower report profiles the activities of the Indiana corn and soybean checkoff programs. This program is broadcast on radio stations around the Hoosier state by Hoosier Ag Today. You can also listen to the updates by clicking on the links below.

The Hoosier Horsepower partnership is also teaching students around the state about renewable energy sources. The Hoosier Horsepower program centers around an educational component that is a multidimensional effort designed to connect with and educate students of all ages. The program will work with both the Indiana State Department of Education, as well as the Indiana FFA organization, to engage, excite and educate both students and their teachers. High school students will have the opportunity to participate in a biofuels video contest where the students submitting the top entries win scholarships. Middle school students, on the other hand, will be targeted with a newly created biofuels education curriculum package and have the chance to earn prizes from the Colts. And elementary students will have the chance to meet the Colts' mascot, Blue, by entering a coloring contest featuring soy crayons or creating their own biofuels and Colts themed posters.

Dallas Clark Scholarship Program
As part of the program, for each catch Dallas Clark makes during the season, the Colts will donate $100 on behalf of Indiana corn and soybean farmers to the scholarship fund. Click here to check the number of catches Clark has made and the total amount in the scholarship program.
