About Midwest Shippers Association (MSA)
The Midwest Shippers Association (MSA) is a regional trade association cooperative that serves to promote marketing, and facilitate shipping and delivery of Specialty Grains to consumers and the food industry worldwide.
Originally established through a grant from the Minnesota Legislature, the Midwest Shippers Association now serves the region of the United States made up of the states of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Wisconsin. This Upper Midwest region produces some of the highest quality, premium specialty grains available anywhere.
The region also benefits from having an extensive transportation infrastructure, leading educational and research institutions, grain industry suppliers, and grain quality regulatory system which have enabled our Midwest Shippers members to become reliable suppliers and partners with food industry buyers throughout the world.
MSA members put high value on their relationship with their customers, and often establish long-term supplier and buyer partnerships that last many years. In today's specialty grain marketing system, growers, processors, traders and food industry buyers are increasingly all linked in a contracting system that is geared to better manage risks and provide an assured supply - as much as Mother Nature will allow.
Midwest Shippers Association serves as The Network for the specialty grains industry in this region.
