In 1979, the U.S. Feed Grains Council, now the U.S. Grains Council (USGC), operated a trade show booth at the annual International Agriculture Show in Paris, France. The event, which is one of the world's largest agricultural shows, opened its doors in 1963 for agricultural organizations from around the globe to showcase the rich diversity of the industry. In this throwback photo, visitors and Council representatives examine commodity samples available in the Council's booth.
