Industry Advisory Board

NCI's Industry Advisory Board (IAB) provides advice to NCI on educational programming and technical services. IAB draws its members from the agricultural supply and processing industry and the grain trade in Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota. IAB was established in 2002 with members who represent both large and small processors of northern-grown crops.
