The Kansas State University International Grains Program is designed to educate foreign business leaders and government officials about U.S. grains and oilseeds through technical-training and assistance programs in storage and handling, milling, marketing and processing.
IGP supports marketing activities by national farmer commodity organizations like the American Soybean Association, the United Soybean Board, U.S. Grains Council and U.S. Wheat Associates. Our partnership with the Foreign Agricultural Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture forms the front line for the American farmers' international grain marketing efforts.

Mark Fowler, associate director of the International Grains Program, talks with the K-State Radio Network's Eric Atkinson about the Wheat Harvest Quality Survey that K-State is once again coordinating for the 2010 wheat harvest. The Wheat Harvest Quality Survey is a running, on-line account of the quality of wheat being brought in from central plains wheat fields as the harvest progresses northward.
