Commodity Group Presidents Address Issues

Chuck Zimmerman

Classic PresidentsOnce again this year Mark Mayfield emceed the general session at Commodity Classic taking place in New Orleans. The tradition of bringing the presidents of the commodity groups on stage had a twist with the addition of the Association of Equipment Manufactures Ag Chair, Jim Walker.

Mayfield introduced them one at a time and asked them what the critical issues are facing their particular commodity. I recorded those comments for you to listen to. After each opening question/comment the session turned to more questions posed to all of them at the same time. Listen and learn.
