US Grains Tour 2017

From 20-31 August 2017, 41 leading Australian grain producers had the opportunity to meet, learn and network with Rabobank’s most progressive US clients on their farms.

The tour provided valuable insights into the US grain markets, infrastructure, supply chain management and growth markets. It also developed a whole new network of leading grains farmers between Australia and the US.

Knowledge is Power

Rabobank’s 2018 Grains Tour is your opportunity to travel with a group of leading Aussie grains and oilseed farmers, meet progressive European farmers and visit key agricultural operations and industry giants.

The inaugural tour began in St Louis, Missouri, the heartland of Rabo AgriFinance - covering over 3,700 kilometers traveling through Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and finishing in the city of Chicago.

 

Experience & Networks

As the world’s leading bank for food & agribusiness, Rabobank has networks across the globe. We can open gates in almost any farming community and agribusiness industry.

This tour incorporated visits and presentations from Rabobank’s European clients, grains processing outfits, major agri-chemical businesses, seed producers, processors, grain facilities and markets.  

 

Here's what the participants had to say:

“To have access and see the types of properties and places that we went to was really exciting and something you’d never been able to do ‘under your own steam’. We were visiting farms that were in the top five or 10 per cent of the country’s producers”
