Courses
Our team also helps to market, run, and recap all the in-person and online courses held at NCI! This last month, NCI held an online Grain Procurement Management for Importers course and a hybrid Barley and Malt Quality course. Our communications team helped with the production of videos for the courses as well as promoting them through emails, social media, & more and also helped to run the online side of the hybrid course!

Video Shoots
Video shoot with Mike and Aaron Vipond in Mahnomen, MN
This month, some of NCI’s communications team traveled to visit with local farmers for video shoots. We first traveled to Oakes, ND to visit with Justin Quandt from Quandt Brothers. He discussed his family farm operation and shared how the ethanol industry has positively impacted North Dakota. We also visited Mahnomen, MN to visit with Dave Vipond and his two sons, Mike and Aaron, from ProAg Service & Insurance. They discussed the crop outlook and shared ethanol and corn statistics. Our team interviewed these farmers and spent time taking video to use for upcoming courses.

Between the busyness of webinars, courses, and traveling…our team has also been hard at work editing videos, writing press releases, blog posts, planning, & more for upcoming events.
