OABA GRAIN DAY WELL RECEIVED

Event deemed a success

On September 9th OABA unveiled Grain Day, a new, annual event for OABA members involved in the grain industry.

Over 60 people took advantage of the relaxed atmosphere at the Shelby Oaks Golf Club in Sidney, Ohio to enjoy friends and colleagues. Those attending the morning session had the opportunity to tour Cargill's processing plant, play golf, or visit exhibitors.

In the afternoon Jason Sagebiel, Sr. Risk Mgr., Renewable Fuels Group, FCStone, LLC and Gordon D. Linn, Pres., The Linn Group, The Chicago Board of Trade presented thought provoking information on the "Future of Ethanol" and "Managed Futures and Their Impact on Agri-Business" respectively.

A wonderful dinner, followed by more time to visit with friends and exhibitors brought the day to a close.

The OABA Grain Committee will soon start planning next year's Grain Day - so if you were unable to attend this year, you won't want to miss next year.
