MABA was pleased to welcome grain industry professionals to Lansing on Thursday, March 7 for the 2024 Grain Grading Seminar.
This year’s program was once again led by the expert trainers at North Dakota Grain Inspection (NDGI), who reviewed the overall federal grain inspection system and standards for properly evaluating corn, wheat and soybeans. The strong participation from across the industry demonstrates MABA members’ interest in applying standards in a uniform way – a benefit for all of Michigan agriculture!
We plan to continue hosting this annual event in March, and states across the upper Midwest host grain grading seminars throughout the year. Contact the MABA office if you are interested in learning about additional seminar opportunities.
Welcome to March, and Michigan Food and Agriculture Month! Your team at MABA has been hard at work early this year to advance the Association, and grow Michigan agriculture.
Here are a few photos from our activities during the past several weeks, plus a communications update and what to expect from MABA coming up!
Michigan Agri-Business Association President Chuck Lippstreu recently joined Michigan Chamber of Commerce CEO Jim Holcomb and Michigan Farm Bureau President Carl Bednarski for a wide-ranging conversation about Michigan’s agriculture sector.
Recorded in late 2023, the Michigan Matters Podcast episode was posted March 1, in concert with the beginning of Food and Agriculture Month in Michigan. You can listen here.
Here are a few key points and comments from Lippstreu during the episode. This is an automatic transcript lightly edited by MABA.
February 16, 2024 | The Michigan Agri-Business Association this week partnered with the Michigan Soybean Committee and Michigan Soybean Association to host our first Ag Club breakfast of 2024.
The event brought together more than 100 partners, government leaders and MABA members in downtown Lansing for networking, and a briefing on soybean production and market opportunities. Soybeans play a critical role in the strength of Michigan agriculture and our rural economy, and we were glad to help spotlight the industry this week!
