dollars.
Jointly hosted by the National

port services, and the latest in
logistics technology.
“Small- and medium-size
shippers and exporters, in par

they can export more effectively
through cooperative shipping or
shippers’ associations,” said
Merrigan. “By pooling cargo,
shippers can reduce their trans
portation costs and improve the
discussed here in the general
sessions and in casual conversa

the use of corn and help add to
its value. And that value will be
seen at the farm.”
Said Rene Shunk, NCGA di

and corn processing research,
“The CUTC is the one place
that all people connected with

Micek’s contributions to the
members of both organizations

search program and supporting
CUTC to bring together the
technical minds of the industry.
“Along the way he did a
couple of things for Cargill and
com milling as well, such as
overseeing the efforts to build
the Eddyville, lowa, and Blair,
Neb., milling plants and leading
a diversification and growth
that has led to literally hundreds
of millions of bushels of new
com demand,” Brenner said.
