A contingent of thirteen Sunbelt farmers saw agricultural operations in North Dakota and Minnesota on Aug. 6-9, as part of the National Cotton Council's Multi-Commodity Education Program or MCEP. MCEP was launched in 2006 when producers from the mid and far west traveled to North Carolina to observe cotton production, processing, and other agricultural operations. John Gibson, Director of Member Services at the National Cotton Council, provides the program's details and benefits.
