This week, farmers and agribusiness leaders from across the country attended the U.S. Grains Council (USGC) Board of Delegates Meeting held in Salt Lake City, Utah. During this event, Nebraska corn farmer Jay Reiners, from Juniata, was elected as secretary/treasurer board of directors for USGC.
“After being involved with the U.S. Grains Council for many years and understanding the necessity of the work they do, I’m honored to be elected to leadership with the organization,” Reiners said. “Our crops need somewhere to go, and I see tremendous value in the work that the U.S. Grains Council does to facilitate trade to move our grains and products to nations worldwide. I’m privileged to soon play a role in leadership for the organization.”
Reiners grows corn and soybeans with his wife near Juniata, Nebraska. He graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and served in Nebraska’s Army National Guard. In 1992, Reiners’ Farms received the Aksarben’s Pioneer Farm Award.
Reiners serves as the chairman of the Nebraska Corn Board and has served in leadership positions on the local, state and national levels, including U.S. Grains Council action teams.
Reiner’s term will begin on Oct. 1, 2024.
