Illinois promotes grain industry to foreign buyers
SPRINGFIELD – More than 20 international grain buyers are set to arrive in Illinois on Monday for a tour of the state's grain industry.
The tour is what the Illinois Department of Agriculture is calling a "reverse trade mission." The five-day expedition will take the potential customers to a corn and soybean farm in Auburn; a Mattoon food ingredient supplier; a Hennepin ethanol plant and the Chicago Board of Trade.
The scheduled visits also include stops in Assumption, Champaign, Joliet and Des Plaines.
