A couple of years ago, the OABA membership said they would like to do a way with the traditional convention and trade show format in favor of individual days directed and focused on specific segments of the industry. This allows you to get more information, in a shorter time, with less travel and in most cases no overnights. The 2006 OABA Grain Day is just such a day! September 13, 2006 will provide an opportunity to network with your colleagues while being updated on the latest hot topics in the grain industry. This year's program features a discussion by individuals who were directly involved in the The Andersons, Inc. fire which took place in Maumee about a year ago. Get valuable "take home" information and insight into managing a crisis you hope won't happen to you.
Ethanol and biofuels are the hot words these days. How will the move in this direction affect Ohio's grain industry and more importantly, your business? Don't miss a panel discussion addressing all aspects of the issue:
Eric Woods, Palmetto Grain Company - Sourcing grain for food vs. fuel
Neill McKinstray, The Andersons Inc. - The Andersons Inc. perspective with ethanol
Mack Findley, Peter Cremer North America - Bio-diesel's rapid growth and potential
Bob Zelenka, Minnesota Grain and Feed Association. - The ramifications of ethanol's boon to Minnesota's grain industry
In addition to all this, there will exhibitors who introduce you to new products and services.
