While in Washington, D.C. last week, state and sectional officers from the Illinois Future Farmers of America (FFA) stopped by the U.S. Grains Council’s (USGC’s) headquarters to learn more from Council Vice President Cary Sifferath (pictured) about international trade and the work the Council does in partnership with the Illinois Corn Marketing Board. Educating future agriculture leaders around the world is just one way the Council builds on its mission of developing markets, enabling trade and improving lives.
