The USGC 2009 Corn Mission traveled to Morocco, Egypt and Jordan Nov. 30-Dec. 12. Chuck Zimmerman, of ZimmComm New Media LLC, interviewed USGC participant Darren Armstrong, Corn Growers Association of North Carolina Inc., who said the biggest thing he noticed immediately was the potential in Egypt. He says that in just a couple of years we should see significant growth. He thought the feedlots visited were well taken care of and are becoming more efficient. He's glad to see how DDGS has been so well accepted Egypt and that is good for American producers. He said it's, "been like a look back in history." He compares where a lot of the Egyptian countryside is with where we were at in America not that long ago. Click here to listen.
