We are getting into the weeds…or maybe the stalks… of the relationship between corn growers and cattle producers. These two industries rely on one another and make great partners to provide nutritious food for worldwide consumers. Our guests today are beef producer Jaclyn Wilson, National Corn Growers Association’s Troy Schneider, and U.S. Grains Council’s Ellen Zimmerman. They discuss the benefit to U.S. producers from export markets for beef and grain and how these organizations are working to expand trade.
