During a 1985 Pioneer Mission, attendees visited feedmills in Venezuela and Mexico to see the results of the U.S. Grains Council’s (USGC’s) efforts. Pictured examining poultry rations at a feedmill in Tepexpan, Mexico, are (from left to right) the feedmill engineer; Owen Newlin, 1979 Council chairman and vice president of Pioneer Hi-Bred International at the time; and Antonio Nanjarrez, president of the feedmill.
