NAMA Spring Conference
Brings Together the Milling Industry in South Carolina
More than 170 milling industry leaders and guests gathered in
South Carolina for the North American Millers’ Association’s 2022 Spring
Conference, which ended Tuesday(April 12, 2022).
“This year’s educational sessions were focused specifically on the issues that
are impacting millers the most, from sustainability to transportation,” said
NAMA President Jane DeMarchi. “From the expert speakers to the dialogue during
our committee meetings, our goal is that NAMA’s Spring Conference provides
insights that you can’t find anywhere else.”
Presentations focused on some of the most critical topics facing the
agriculture and food industries in 2022. With volatility in the global grain
markets top of mind, the annual Soft Wheat Crop Forecast was held on Tuesday morning.
The panel of industry experts predicted U.S. 2022 soft red winter wheat
production at 358,658,000 bushels, down 1% from 2021 and the third largest crop
since 2013. They also forecasted a soft white winter wheat crop at 236,560,000
bushels, up 61% from 2021, according to analysis by Food
Business News.
The 2022 Spring Conference was attended by milling companies, their suppliers,
and members of allied industry. NAMA members also participated in technical
committee meetings and corn, oat, and soft wheat division meetings as part of
