The U.S. Grains Council (USGC) is celebrating World Trade Month this May by highlighting the top markets for U.S. corn, sorghum, barley, ethanol and dried distiller’s grains with solubles (DDGS).
“The Council has been working for more than 60 years to build demand for every area of coarse grains use,” said USGC Director of Communications Bryan Jernigan. “We’re excited to highlight many of the stories that demonstrate USGC staff and members doing what they do best, capturing short-term opportunities and building long-term demand for U.S. coarse grains and co-products.”
Follow along with the Council on Facebook, Twitter (@USGC) and Instagram (@usgrains) to learn quick facts about trade’s impacts on the U.S. economy, trials that USGC staff members are rolling out across the globe and developing markets for U.S. grains.
“The Council continues its work to develop markets, enable trade and improve lives and we are excited to share just a few of the highlights during this special month,” Jernigan said.
