Wheaton Grain, a prominent agribusiness headquartered in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, has joined the U.S. Grains Council (USGC), further expanding its international grain export operations. This membership enables the company to enhance its presence in the global agricultural market, focusing on the export of grains, feeds, and oilseeds for human and animal consumption.

Wheaton Grain is actively involved in various aspects of the supply chain. From purchasing and storing to processing and transporting, the company ensures high-quality service to both domestic and international customers.
