Whatever else happens with the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, farmers and agricultural producers are looking forward to another great export year for key American agricultural commodities. Exports of American corn, soybeans, sorghum, cattle and pork are all up, and world demand continues to boom. Most of the grain exports will be carried by barge at some point. The leaders of major agricultural advocacy groups spoke at the opening session of the Commodity Classic, the U.S.'s largest annual farm event and trade show. This year's event, which marks its 25th anniversary, was its first virtual one. Last year's Commodity Classic ended just as the COVID-19 virus broke out. |
