Dorr heads U.S. Grain Council
The U.S. Grain Council has named Thomas C. Dorr to president and chief executive officer, effective Nov. 16.
Door, an Iowa farmer, previously served as the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s undersecretary for rural development, a post he held for seven years.
The Washington-based council is the largest export market development organization for barley, corn, sorghum and their co-products.
“The council is focused on global initiatives, but the real purpose of this organization is to sustain and build economic opportunity not only for rural America, but worldwide,” Dorr said in a statement.
Dorr succeeds Ken Hobbie, the council’s president and CEO for the past 18 years.
