GEAPS Partners with Northern Crops Institute

The Grain Elevator and Processing Society (GEAPS) announced on March 18 a new partnership with the Northern Crops Institute (NCI) to provide more education programming for members. The collaboration embodies GEAPS' mission to advance knowledge among agricultural professionals while increasing the value of GEAPS membership. The partnership provides NCI programs with more awareness and extends access to new people in the industry.

GEAPS Executive Director Steve Records is excited for the value the partnership adds to GEAPS membership. 'We are working to provide our members with more access to training and subject matter experts from all avenues of the grain industry,' says Mr Records. 'In a post-COVID world we will deliver access to new training opportunities to members; whether through increasing online and hybrid events, collaborating on-campus with partners like NCI in Fargo, or presenting training at our in-person conferences in Columbus in August.'

'NCI has a forty year history of providing high quality practical education that showcases quality and utilisation,' states Mark Jirik, Director of the NCI. 'The partnership with GEAPS is a great fit for both organisations to increase skill and knowledge, but also fulfilling our mission of growing markets.'

GEAPS is prioritising relationships with universities and other organisations with subject matter experts who expand beyond the association's grain operations training. GEAPS is looking to increase the value of membership by offering a greater variety of grain-related training programs.

With the new partnership, GEAPS members will receive a discount on NCI's upcoming Barley to Beer online course in April and access to the Grain Industry Emerging Leader Program this summer - in person or online - and will receive benefits for future programs developed in the partnership. Discount codes and additional information will be sent to GEAPS members via email.
