International buyers in Illinois for grain tour this week
Forty international buyers from seven different Latin American countries are in Illinois this week for a grain tour hosted by the Illinois Department of Agriculture.
Participants have started in the central portion of the state visiting RTS Farm, GSI, Clarkson Grain and ADM and will move north for tours of Marquis Energy, Seedburo Equipment and the Delong Company, ending in Chicago with the Illinois Soybean Association and MANNS Traders.
The tour gives farmers and retailers the opportunity to showcase their facilities to foreign investors. The last two years, the tour resulted in over $20 million in projected sales despite being virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Seedburo Equipment Co LLC was very honored to once again be included in this ILL Dept of Ag Grain Tour. The participants were very excited to hear from our staff on the various grain inspection and testing instruments available. Much excitement in the latest Dickey-john Moisture meters and SCiO NIR Forage dry matter tester. THANKS for the visit. Tom Runyon, Seedburo Equip Co.
