Dear Valued Subscriber and IMD Reader
Big congratulations to organisers of both IPPE 13 and the 1st Global Milling Conference for hosting successful events over the past few weeks. Our team is now in Louisville, USA, to support this year's GEAPS event as we have done before. The first day of GEAPS (yesterday) has proven eventful with The Directory already receiving positive comments from stand holders in particular. Our team in Louisville will report from time-to-time through our Global Miller and International Milling blogs.

A word from the Directory Coordinator
| Tom Blacker |
First of all, thank you and welcome to this month's IMD newsletter.
My name is Richard Sillett - I'm working right now with Perendale as an intern. Tom is away in the United States shaking hands and talking business with the aquaculture and milling industries at Aquaculture 2013 in Nashville, and at GEAPS in Kentucky. If you've got a representative going to either convention, please stop by the Perendale stand and say hello. It's been a busy couple of weeks learning what's up and what's down, memorizing all the system passwords and trying to keep the IMD's website up to date.
Since January we've had many companies register with us, from representatives from the emerging Turkish grain market, Yeni Un and Milluno Milling Technologies and Equipment, and Alabama's Tote Tank, a bulk storage manufacturer who gave their name to a particular kind of shipping box.
Please update your company's profile at IMD as soon as you can on InternationalMilling.com. Re-registering costs you nothing, though of course we have paid options designed to make your listings stand out from the crowd! Don't hesitate to contact Tom or me for support, registration forms or our media file. Richard Sillett, Sales Assistant

International Grains Program offers training opportunities in English and Spanish
- The International Grains Program, in conjunction with Buhler Inc., will host its Expert Milling course in English March 18-22, 2013 and in Spanish April 15-19, 2013. The course will be held at the IGP Conference Center and will give participants a more theoretical and practical milling understanding. Production managers, head millers and shift managers are encouraged to attend.
The English course will be instructed by Tobias N�nny, manager of the Buhler Training Center in Uzwil, Switzerland, and John Steinfort, Buhler adjunct instructor. The Spanish course will be instructed by Ralph Linnemann, flour milling expert from the Buhler training center in Uzwil, Switzerland. The course content will include wheat tempering, cleaning systems, break release, purifier techniques and more. The course will have a combination of in class presentations and practical milling exercises in the Hal Ross Flour Mill. "This course is focused on experienced millers and the main objective is to teach more advanced milling techniques and broaden the knowledge of the different equipment that they may not be familiar with," says John Steinfort, Buhler adjunct instructor. A 2012 English course participant says the course helped him improve his understanding. A 20-year milling industry veteran, Scott Roberts, Cereal Food Processors in Utah, appreciated what the course had to offer and strengthened his milling knowledge. "The course provided good technical information and application of equipment in mill flow design. It also provided techniques to teach the concepts and apply the information within our company," he says. For more information about this course visit the IGP website. To register for the course visit the International Association of Operative Miller's website.

Hot topics on this year's agenda include recovering from the awful weather hitting the UK in the last few months, driving business efficiencies and adapting to the challenges of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform.
Charles Blessley, Case IH's UK and Ireland marketing manager, expects it to be a good exhibition for machinery manufacturers.

"The event attracts the key decision-makers in the arable sector. Cereals offers a great opportunity for visitors to talk through the options, and our technical staff look forward to showing what we can offer."
