U.S. Grains Council Senior Director of Programs Cary Sifferath joined Brownfield Ag News’ Mark Dorenkamp on the most recent episode of the Minnesota Corn Podcast to recap 2020 while discussing what is ahead in 2021, including USGC’s work with the Biden Administration. In the 15-minute podcast, Sifferath discusses the following.

- In addition to the COVID-19 pandemic, Sifferath discusses the major weather events that impacted grain supply around the world.
- Sifferath also looks ahead to working with the Biden Administration and a potential USDA secretary who is no stranger to USGC initiatives.
