Message from the Chairman
Dear U.S. Grains Council members,
I hope you will make plans to join us this summer for the 58th Annual Board of Delegates Meeting, scheduled for July 30 to Aug. 1 at the Grand Hyatt in Denver. We look forward to this annual gathering of members where we can learn about and discuss the opportunities and challenges facing our collective industries.
This meeting will be an excellent opportunity for you to engage directly with fellow delegates and Council staff on opportunities and challenges facing U.S. agriculture. True to this year’s theme, Friends and Frontiers, we will dive into discussions on our global efforts to strengthen relationships with key partners and build new demand for coarse grains and co-products, including ethanol. Our A-Teams will also meet to get updates on specific commodities and markets and provide direction for staff in the coming critical months.
The sun never sets on our efforts to develop critical markets, dismantle trade barriers and serve our customers overseas – and we rely on your engagement as we peruse the important trade policy and market development work happening around the world.
Come, participate and share your ideas to help continue expanding U.S. exports of corn, sorghum, barley, ethanol, DDGS and more!
I look forward to seeing you in Denver.
Sincerely,
Deb Keller
Chairman
