Alabama Farmer Visiting Panama, Ecuador to See Soy Checkoff in Action

Kyle Bridgeforth from Tanner, Alabama is in Panama and Ecuador this week participating in the soy checkoff’s “See for Yourself” program. Bridgeforth was one of 10 select farmers from around the country who got the opportunity to learn more about their customers beyond the elevator, and the soy checkoff’s role in marketing U.S. soy to those customers. I was able to catch up with Kyle this afternoon via cell phone while he was in Ecuador to talk about the trip. Unfortunately we did not have the best phone service so the audio from his end is a bit tough to make out at times.

Hopefully we’ll be able to catch up with Bridgeforth next week after he returns to get a follow-up on what he again calls a trip of a lifetime.
