Trade mission looking for participants

Kansas ranchers and related agribusinesses specializing in the export of Angus and Hereford genetics can apply to participate in a beef genetics trade mission to Argentina from July 24 to Aug. 1.

Attendees will interact with Argentine breeders and promote the use of U.S. beef genetics while attending Exposicion Rural (Palermo), a major Argentinean livestock show.

Selected participants will be eligible for travel stipends for airfare, depending upon the number of applicants and fund availability. They will be responsible for hotels, meals, and other incidental expenses.
