Maier hopes showing the visitors Iowa’s successful agriculture could lead to more opportunities for U.S. grain.
“We’re thrilled to host this team in an effort to further develop and strengthen the relationships between Mexican corn and distillers grains buyers and U.S. grain suppliers, and are hopeful our efforts will result in more sales of corn and distillers grains to Mexico,” Maier said in a release.
On Thursday, the Mexican importers will visit the Maxyield Cooperative and Ag Partners feed mill. Friday will take them to Innovative Ag in Hubbard before visiting ICGA director Danny Friest’s farm and Heartland Coop.

Maier said Mexico is the largest customer of American agricultural exports and that the country has come to rely on the quality and quantity of products produced by U.S. farmers.
