After more than 35 year with Michigan’s largest grain handler, it’s president Bruce Sutherland plans to retire at the end of June.
Sutherland tells Brownfield marketing has evolved significantly during his time.
“The state of Michigan isn’t so reliant on exports, we have a big processing industry in the state now with five ethanol plants in the state for corn, and we’ve got the second or third largest soybean processing plant in the Eastern United States in Ithaca now,” he explains.
