More than 100 milling industry leaders and their guests gathered in Scottsdale, Arizona for three days of education and networking during the 2022 NAMA Annual Meeting. Click here for a recap.
The general session presentations included a look ahead at what to expect during the upcoming farm bill negotiations from agriculture policy veterans including Chandler Goule (National Association of Wheat Growers) and Mike Seyfert (National Grain and Feed Association). Dr. Hulya Dogan (Interim Department Head, Department of Grain Science and Industry) and Kerry Wefald (KSU Foundation) provided an update on Kansas State University’s plans to partner with the industry to expand opportunities for the future milling workforce. Connecting research with consumer trends and navigating economic uncertainty were other key topics.
