Earlier this week, the Nebraska Corn Board was pleased to host a trade team of livestock nutritionists from Mexico. In partnership with the U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council and POET the goal was to educate nutrionists about the value of dried distillers grains (DDGS) in livestock diets.

Thank you to NCB District 1 Director Dan Nerud, Weber Feedyards and Nebraska Animal Science for hosting and providing real-world examples of DDGS in action. These conversations continue and build relationships for Nebraska corn.

One of the Nebraska Corn Board's core pillars revolves around market development and diversifying ethanol demand. Ocean vessels consume billions of gallons of fuel annually, presenting a significant opportunity to diversify and expand ethanol demand. Congratulations to Maersk on their continued research and testing of 100% ethanol in their dual-fuel vessels.

Innovation like this is exactly what moves the corn industry forward.
