Trade School Workshop in Omaha Aug. 26
Since 2016, the U.S. Grains Council (USGC) and National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) have offered a series of in-person trade school workshops, an opportunity for producers to gain a deeper understanding of international trade policy and its impact on agricultural markets.
The Clayton Yeutter Institute of International Trade and Finance at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will partner with them and ag groups in the region to bring you the next workshop 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Aug. 26 in Omaha, Nebraska. Farmers, ranchers, agribusiness leaders and anyone invested in the vibrancy of the Heartland's agricultural industry are encouraged to attend.
