The U.S. Grains Council’s (USGC’s) members are essential to the Council’s mission of developing markets, enabling trade and improving lives by contributing their expertise to the Council’s programming. To honor members who have reached landmarks of service to the Council and the U.S. agricultural industry, the Council presented commemorative plaques to those who have dedicated 10 and 15 years of service during the 22nd International Marketing Conference and 65th Annual Membership Meeting in Austin, Texas, held Feb. 12-14.
The Council presented commemorative plaques for years of service to:
• Kent Moore, Kansas Corn Commission, 15 years

• Hayden Eicher, Virginia Corn Board, 10 years
• Jim Reed, Illinois Corn Marketing Board, 10 years
• Bruce Wetzel, Texas Corn Producers Association, 10 years

“The Council’s membership is the backbone of all we do, working in lockstep with staff to ensure U.S. agricultural products remain the preferred choice in markets around the world,” said Ellen S. Zimmerman, USGC director of industry relations. “Reaching 10 years of service to the Council is a testament to their hard work and dedication to the Council and to U.S. producers everywhere.”
Thank you to these members for their landmark years of service to the Council!
