(NAFB.com) – The U.S. Grains Council elected Verity Ulibarri  as its new Chairwoman during the USGC’s 64th Annual Board of Delegates Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah. “We are thrilled to see Verity elected as chairwoman of the U.S. Grains Council,” says Sorghum Checkoff CEO Tim Lust. “She’s a former Sorghum Checkoff Chairwoman, and her leadership is exceptional.” Ulibarri operates a family farm in New Mexico, producing sorghum, wheat, forage crops, and cattle while also working as the agribusiness relationship manager at American AgCredit. “This industry is a higher calling,” she said. “Farming is getting your hands dirty, praying for favorable weather, and managing and mitigating hazards while having extreme amounts of capital at risk and hoping for the best to build a brighter future.”  The delegates also elected Mark Wilson of the Illinois Corn Marketing Board as vice chairman and Jay Reiners of the Nebraska Corn Board as secretary-treasurer.
