The EPC represents 80 percent of exporters of hay to Asia and addresses important safety concerns, including foot-mouth disease and chemicals export issues.
“Wilbur-Ellis and the National Hay Association share a strong commitment to promoting safe export practices in the forage industry,” said Ron Salter, president of Wilbur-Ellis’ Feed Division. “With his extensive knowledge of the industry and leadership expertise, Dan is the right choice to guide the Council and represent members’ interests and points-of-view.”
Wilbur-Ellis has been a part of the National Hay Association for eight years and is one of 30 companies represented on the Export Processors Council.
“As a current board member of the NHA, Dan brings a great understanding of our organization and practices, as well as a proven record of success, to the role of EPC president,” said Ron Bradtmueller, president of the NHA. “We look forward to his leadership and to collaborating with him to implement important safety initiatives on behalf of EPC members.”
The National Hay Association was formed in 1895 to represent members involved in the production, sale and transportation of forage products around the world. With more than 500 active members, the organization works to advance the hay industry by sharing knowledge and best practices across its members. FG
