U.S. Grains Council

Founded in 1960, the U.S. Grains Council is a private, non-profit corporation dedicated to developing export markets for U.S. coarse grains and their co-products. The organization's mission is to enhance the value of U.S. grains and improve the lives of American farmers by enabling trade and building international demand. It achieves this through programs that provide technical expertise, address market access issues, and connect international buyers with U.S. sellers. The Council is supported by its members, which include state checkoff boards, agribusinesses, and farmers, and also receives funding through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS).
