I Am a Grain Industry:

Operator

Whether you are a facility manager, elevator operator, safety director, or a production supervisor, you are the heart of the grain industry.

Supplier

Sales or territory manager, engineer, vice president, developer or consultant? The industry would not exist without you!

Affiliate

Professor, researcher, program manager or CEO? You understand we all have something to learn from each other.

Student

As you pursue a career in the grain, we will be there for you with opportunities for training, scholarships and industry news.

A lot of times, when something is going on with a piece of equipment, you can’t usually call your neighbor because they’re probably your closest competitor. For me, GEAPS truly is having those industry colleagues you can call upon.

Not only has the GEAPS networking opportunities been great for Comco on a business level, it has been an incredible educational resource as well. Through GEAPS I have learned about the grain industry and am able to stay up-to-date on new technologies and the ever-changing regulations that our regular members deal with. It was an easy decision for Comco to support my involvement.

GEAPS annual Leadership Workshop has proven to be very useful to me in developing new skills and new ideas that I can use as a leader in our organization. The guest speakers and workshops are time well spent and I would recommend participation to any, and all GEAPS members.

He went from mowing greens to mastering grain. In The Credential Effect, discover how Eric Gilbert — with zero experience in agriculture — leveraged GEAPS’ credential program to transform himself into a trusted leader in grain operations. It’s a story about taking bold leaps, investing in your own growth, and redefining what “starting from scratch” really means. Curious how he did it — and what it might do for your career?

"GEAPS has really opened the door to sharing ideas and building relationships that help me do my job better. And it’s fun to be connected to the products our industries help create—everything from dairy and beef to beers and whiskeys. There’s a long list of things that tie back to what we do."
