The AAGIWA Board of Directors met last week—both in person and virtually—at the USDA’s National Grain Center in Kansas City for its Fall/Winter Board Meeting.

The meeting provided an opportunity for directors to connect, review association business, and discuss priorities impacting grain inspection and weighing agencies across the country.

Thank you to our Board members for their time, engagement, and leadership in support of AAGIWA and the official grain inspection system.

Earlier this month, the Missouri Department of Agriculture Grain Inspection Services completed a train inspection with an all-female grain inspection crew — a noteworthy moment to recognize.
Pictured left to right:

As noted by AAGIWA Board Member Erin Casey-Campbell, Program Manager, Grain Inspection Services, Missouri Department of Agriculture, it’s unclear whether this represents a first, but it is certainly unique and meaningful.
AAGIWA is proud to highlight the professionalism and dedication of inspectors across our member agencies who uphold the integrity of the grain inspection system every day.
