The US Rice Producers Association Board of Directors held its winter board meeting earlier this week in San Antonio, Texas, primarily focused on strategic planning for 2022 and beyond. Board members also heard trade and legislative updates from the Cornerstone Government Affairs team learned about the positive results of recent USRPA marketing campaigns in Mexico and Central America and met with Foreign Agricultural Service representatives regarding 2022 MAP funding.
Thank you to all our dedicated board members who represent and advocate for their fellow rice producers across the country.
