Corn Grower Comments from Egypt
Posted: December 9, 2009
As the U.S. Grains Council Corn Mission team moves on from Egypt to Jordan today, we get a chance to hear from Darren Armstrong, a corn grower from North Carolina who is on the trip. Chuck Zimmerman of Agwired interviewed Darren to get his thoughts about what the team saw in Egypt.
Darren was impressed with the potential he saw in Egypt for U.S. corn exports and thought the feedlots they visited were well taken care of and are becoming more efficient. He was also glad to see how well DDGs have been accepted by Egyptian livestock producers. You have to see the photos of the water buffalo feedlot and dairies the group visited, which can be viewed here. We don’t have very many water buffalo farms back here at home!
