Follow the Corn Bus Tour
The Mississippi River System is the lifeblood of the agricultural export market in the Midwest. If you have ever wondered how the corn makes it’s way through the river system, then this 5 Day WILLAg Follow the Corn Bus Tour will help answer your questions. Along the way we’ll visit CGB’s Mound City River Terminal, the newest Grain Export Terminal at the Gulf Port, and talk with two of WILLAg’s most listened to analysts, Dan Zwicker and John Bondurant. There will be plenty of time on your own, too. We’ll stop in Tunica at Harrah’s, spend two nights in New Orleans’s French Quarter, and visit famous Beale Street in Memphis. It is a truly a business vacation. Come join us for 5 days and 4 nights in August.
