This week in La Crosse, WI, the U.S. Grains Council (USGC), National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) and Wisconsin Corn jointly hosted a trade school for farmer members and stakeholders in the area. Pictured, the group was able to tour Lock No. 7 on the Mississippi River following the classroom portion of the event to learn more about the river’s role in moving exports.
