South Dakota Corn Utilization Council (SDCUC)
SDCUC Board Members
Brent Rames - District 10
Brent Rames has been farming since 1994 when he joined his dad on the family farm near Menno, S.D. There they grow corn and soybeans while operating a cow/calf enterprise and a small feedlot..
Farming as a career was a natural choice for Rames as he grew up..
“I chose to farm because I had an interest at a very young age – probably since I was old enough to ride with my dad in the tractor,” said Rames..
Rames believes that one of the challenges facing today’s corn producers is maintaining profitability in today’s tight margins. .
He and his wife, Ann, have one son, Blake, who is 1-year-old. In addition to his role as director for the SDCUC, Rames also is the vice president of Farmers Grain and Stock Company in Menno.
