As you make plans to attend the 2016 Commodity Classic, be sure to schedule a stop at the U.S. Grains Council’s (USGC’s) booth (#915) to get insights and information on key global markets for corn, barley, sorghum, their co-products and ethanol.

The Council works to build and create new and long-term trade relationships that are essential to bridging the gap between U.S. agriculture and international customers. Its in-market presence in more than 50 countries opens and strengthens U.S. farmers’ access to trade around the world.

Commodity Classic attendees will be able to “put themselves in the picture� at this year’s USGC booth with digital souvenir photographs of themselves in front of fabled landmarks in important U.S. grain export markets, including the Taj Mahal in India, the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and more.

Attendees will also leave the Council’s booth with information and materials about how checkoff and agribusiness contributions are being put to work around the globe to generate demand for grain.

Members of the USGC staff and leadership will be manning the booth and also available for media interviews. Members of the media interested in scheduling interview times should contact USGC Director of Communications Melissa Kessler, mkessler@grains.org.
