The National Association of Farm Broadcasters (NAFB) interviewed Tom Sleight, U.S. Grains Council (USGC) president and CEO, this week to discuss priorities and programs the Council has planned for 2016.
“The top priority for the Council right now is making sure we are developing demand for U.S. corn, sorghum, barley and their co-products in any way that we can,� Sleight said.
“We work hard for U.S. farmers by going out there every day and meeting with both the customers and the competition in order to sell this big crop.�
In the interview, Sleight also discusses the impacts the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement could have on global grain trade and the Council’s work on ethanol export promotion.
