New Animated Video Highlights Corn’s Journey To Global Markets

Aug 25, 2023

Based on the infographic “How Does U.S. Grain Move?,” a new video released by the U.S. Grains Council (USGC) highlights the journey U.S. corn takes domestically and internationally. The video also provides a breakdown of how the commodity reaches its final destination via different logistical pathways, including ocean vessel, rail and truck.

Like the infographics available in the Council’s media resources library, animated videos are a great way for Council members and the general public to get a snapshot of the organization’s work to develop markets, enable trade and improve lives.

“The video is a quick view of the value chain for U.S. corn – and boasts the extensive network of truck, rail and ocean vessel operations that allows the U.S. to transport the commodity within our own country and around the world,” said Bryan Jernigan, USGC director of communications. “The video makes a strong case that the U.S. supply chain is the most extensive and efficient in getting commodities to those who want them wherever they are.”

Video: Fendt Testimonial | Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 | Peter Watson Jones Ltd.

What happens when a farm buys its first Fendt? For Peter Watson Jones Ltd, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 has exceeded expectations from day one. For Jack, Farm Manager at Peter Watson Jones Ltd in North Shropshire, UK, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 wasn't just another tractor purchase. It was the farm's first experience with the Fendt brand.

Operating across a 1,200-acre arable farm alongside a 250,000-head broiler enterprise, the business has evolved significantly over the last decade, moving to a straight arable system with fewer staff and machines. Since arriving on the farm, the Fendt 726 Vario has established itself as the main drilling and cultivations tractor, earning its place through performance, versatility and efficiency. Whether it's handling large-scale cultivations or working with a new 4.5m strip-till drill, the tractor continues to impress.

Jack highlights its excellent manoeuvrability, operator comfort and ability to deliver strong pulling power at low engine speeds. The result? Outstanding fuel efficiency without compromising performance. Reliability has also been a key factor, with dependable backup from the team at TR Machinery helping to keep the tractor working when it matters most.

?? Watch as Jack shares why the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7, the farm's first Fendt, has made such a strong impression and become an integral part of their operation.
