USGC: Canadian webinars look at benefits of US corn, DDGS use
Summary
Due to drought in western Canada, the country has experienced a significant reduction in barley and wheat supply, creating an ingredient deficit for feed where U.S. corn and DDGS have been able to fill the demand. “Canada is consistently a top export destination for U.S. feed grains and a strong trade partner for the United States. Several USGC members were also involved in the event, providing insights on U.S. grain quality, availability and logistics for the upcoming marketing year. During the cattle-focused webinar, attendees had the opportunity to hear about grain movement and rail logistics from Jon Harman of the Canadian Pacific Railway. We’re trying to make it as easy as possible for everybody to connect and do business.” The Council looks forward to continuing work with the Canadian livestock industry to address its low supply of domestic feed grains by replacing the ingredients with U.S. corn and DDGS.
