Corn Grower in Jordan

Missouri corn grower Jim Stuever is one of the farmers taking part in the U.S. Grains Council Corn Mission, which is now completing the final leg of the journey in Amman, Jordan. The first two stops were Morocco and Egypt.

Jim, pictured here listening to a presentation by USDA Ag Specialist Mohamed Kraishy, says he has seen a very diverse set of conditions from country to country as they have traveled with different market development efforts. From what he has been able to witness, Jim believes the Grains Council is helping to reinforce and increase foreign markets for American corn and corn by-products.
