Trade School Workshop in Omaha August 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, August 26 in Omaha, Nebraska. Farmers, ranchers, agribusiness leaders, and anyone invested in the vibrancy of the heartland's agricultural industry are encouraged to attend.

Topics:

• Trade policy 101: how the systems and structures of trade were set up and what they mean today
• How trade policy and market development work together to drive grain sales
• Tools in the toolbox for trade negotiators and litigators
• The impact of trade of imports, particularly of agriculture inputs like fertilizer
• How transportation systems and trade intersect
• Developing and deploying messages on trade
