The Mid-West, Heartland of America, home to the Grain trade in the U.S. and a major source of wheat and wheat products for the entire world. How do these acres and acres of amber waves become the bread and cereals that feed many millions the world over? Come be a part of the process with a visit to the Kansas City Board of Trade, which links different segments of the industry to keep the marketplace flowing smoothly. It may look like something out of the 19th century but this is where 21st century traders make sure the annual wheat supply will provide its products to tables in every corner of the globe.
