Foreign customers of U.S. soybean growers are important, so much so that it’s essential to show gratitude for their business. That was part of Tim Ostrem’s reason for traveling to Chile after AGP sold that South American country three cargoes of U.S.-produced soybean meal. Ostrem also wanted to meet with other Chilean companies that are potential customers of U.S. soybean growers. Conversely, foreign customers appreciate meeting the farmers who grow the soybeans fed to Chilean livestock. In this edition of The Soybean Pod, Ostrem talks about that mission and his nine years – three three-year terms – on the South Dakota Soybean Checkoff Board.
