USW Board Team Heads to Taiwan, Philippines

Jan 16, 2015
Over the next two weeks, USW Market Analyst Casey Chumrau, two U.S. wheat farmers and a state wheat commission administrator will visit Taiwan and the Philippines after briefings in Portland, OR, today. 
 
This USW Board Team includes Leonard Schock, a wheat farmer from Vida, MT, a past USW chairman and a current USW director representing the Montana Wheat and Barley Committee. Robert Delsing, a wheat farmer from Hemingford, NE, is representing the Nebraska Wheat Board. Mary Palmer Sullivan, Vice President of the Washington Grain Commission, is representing farmers from her state.   
 
USW Board teams are intense, regional visits that help educate USW board members and state wheat commissioners about the day-to-day work of USW’s overseas offices. Additionally, board teams help build personal connections between our overseas customers, the farmers who grow our high value wheat and other industry stakeholders.
