Panel To Discuss Ethanol
At Maryland Commodity Classic
EDGEWATER, Md. The
Fourth Annual Maryland
Commodity Classic, slated for
Thursday, July 2S, starting at
11 a.m., at the Howard County
Fairgrounds in West Friend
ship, is expected to attract
farmers from across the state
interested in developing new
markets for their product. The
event is a joint effort between
the Maryland Grain Producers
Association (MGPA) and the
Maryland Soybean Board
(MSB).
“We anticipate a large
crowd at the 2002 Classic be
cause of the increased interest
in the numerous changes Mar
yland’s grain producers have
faced over the course of this
past year,” said Jamie Jamison
of Dickerson. “From the col
lapse of the Port of Baltimore
that has forever impacted the
exporting of our agricultural
products to the anticipated
construction of ethanol plants
designed to broaden the mar
keting opportunities for grain
producers, the Classic will
cover those topics important to
our growers.”
