GEAPS and Kansas State University partner to offer Grain Elevator Managers course in May 2019
Maintaining product quality during grain storage is always the goal of grain elevator managers. Factors impacting the grain's quality include the product's shipping and handling, milling equipment or machinery used in processing as well as the harvest conditions during a given year.
Educating managers on the best practices for maintaining quality grain is the goal of the offering from the Kansas State University (K-State) IGP Institute and the Grain Elevator and Processing Society (GEAPS). The GEAPS/K-State Grain Elevator Managers course will be held May 7-10, 2019 in Manhattan, Kansas.
This course benefits professionals who work in operations, procurement, management or other grain handling roles. Topics discussed in this course include grain quality management, fumigation, aeration, and human resources among other things.
"The GEAPS/K-State Continuing Education program is enhancing its joint offerings by developing a Grain Elevator Managers course," says Carlos Campabadal, IGP Institute outreach specialist for feed manufacturing and grain quality management. "This course will cover topics that help grain elevator operators, managers and other people working in the grain industry maintain grain during storage and handling."
GEAPS International President Robert Taylor of Cargill shares that the program will include both interactive land classroom learning components to help reinforce lessons. "As the knowledge resource, GEAPS is excited to expand our partnership with Kansas State University," Mr Taylor says. "This offering will help managers learn the core skills to maintain grain quality, enforce safety best practices and ensure facilities are getting the proper return on investment."
