Rodibaugh Shares Export Success Story at Commodity Classic

USMEF Secretary-Treasurer Danita Rodibaugh is attending the Commodity Classic in Grapevine, Texas, this week to share the importance of beef and pork exports with more than 4,500 feedgrain and oilseed producers.  

The Commodity Classic is one of the nation’s largest agricultural conventions and trade shows, sponsored by the National Corn Growers Association, the American Soybean Association, the National Association of Wheat Growers and the National Sorghum Producers.

While greeting attendees and members of the agricultural media at the USMEF trade show booth, Rodibaugh said the Commodity Classic is a great opportunity to reach out to a diverse range of farmers and ranchers.

“These producers make a significant investment in USMEF,” Rodibaugh said. “So it’s great to be able to interact with them and talk about the success of pork and beef exports, and to further build those relationships.”

Like Rodibaugh, who raises corn, soybeans and wheat on her Indiana family farm in addition to its purebred seedstock swine operation, many farmers and ranchers attending the convention produce both crops and livestock. She feels this helps strengthen the partnerships that have helped achieve so much success for U.S. meat exports.

“Grain farmers appreciate the challenges meat producers have been going through recently,” she said. “They know we can reach a greater level of success by working together to ship a quality product overseas and grow our international markets.”

The Commodity Classic continues today and concludes Saturday with business meetings of the sponsoring organizations. To learn more, visit www.commodityclassic.com.
