We listened to our membership base and the grain industry at large. The message was clear—there’s an urgent need to attract and retain skilled talent in the grain industry. Many employees entering the industry today have little or no experience in agriculture or grain, which can be daunting. That’s why we developed the Welcome to the Grain Industry course. It’s designed to bring employees quickly up to speed and equip them with the knowledge they need to thrive.
