New GEAPS Leaders to be
Announced Next Month
The 2010 GEAPS elections closed Jan. 18, and the newest leaders will be announced on
stage Exchange 2010 next month.
Bill Lyster, current International board director and Greater Iowa Chapter member, will
likely be the next to fill Mark Fedje’s current position of International second vice president
when Fedje becomes first vice president next month. Lyster ran unopposed for the position
and if elected will be on track to the 2012-2013 GEAPS presidency.
The candidates in the races for director positions on the International and Associates
boards faced more opposition. Five candidates vied for three available positions on the
International board, and seven candidates threw their hats in the ring for four positions on the
Associates board. The slate of candidates was ratified in November by GEAPS’ International
board, certifying that all nominees met criteria.
In addition to the annual leadership elections, GEAPS Regular and Associate members
also cast their votes on proposed changes to their respective bylaws.
Results of the leadership and bylaws elections will be announced at GEAPS’ annual
meeting, to be held Tuesday, Feb. 23, at Exchange 2010 in Wichita, Kan.

educational program
Every year, the Exchange educational program is one of the most
highly anticipated—and well reviewed—parts of the Exchange, with
all program topics designed for members, by members. With 18 session topics and a dozen Expo Hall pod sessions, plus the Opening
Workshop, the Exchange 2010 Educational Program offers 32 combined hours of educational opportunities for delegates. In choosing topics for the sessions, workshop and pods, the Educational
Programming Committee worked to ensure all parts of the program
respond directly to member—and industry—needs.
Every Exchange 2010 education opportunity has been developed
for grain operations professionals by grain operations professionals—GEAPS members. From over 130 session topics submitted, the
EPC made their final selections based on which would be the most
relevant and useful for Exchange delegates. The committee paired
these topics with an Opening Workshop on effective management of
younger employees, plus 12 pod sessions on Dust Collection Systems
and Maintenance, in order to create a comprehensive, high-quality
education program with something for everyone.
“In grain operations, ongoing education means the difference
between a good employee and a great one, or between accident
recovery and one that never happens in the first place,” said EPC
Chair Kathy Reading. “The knowledge of employees at elevators and
processing facilities impacts everything from individual safety to the
global food supply. Our committee is proud to present another year
of relevant session topics that will help make our industry better,
safer and smarter.”
Student Day
Idea Exchange
Fourteen people with bright ideas or products new to the grain operations industry have been selected to make presentations at GEAPS’ Idea
Exchange this year. The program, set for Sunday, Feb. 21, will give each
participant time on stage to explain their innovations.
The GEAPS Educational Programming Committee selected the final
presenters at their Nov. 13 meeting in Minneapolis, Minn. The EPC reviews
applications in detail and selects those most appropriate for presentation.
Idea Exchange has two parts. One, “What’s New?,” provides a forum for
participants to discuss products that are new to the industry, or which have
unique, new features. The other part, “Why Don’t They?... I Did!,” focuses
on innovations made at grain facilities that others could find useful. Participants in Idea Exchange this year selected by GEAPS’ Educational Programming Committee:
Why Don’t They?... I Did!

Educational Program for Students
Monday, Feb. 22
Student Day 2010 will provide students planning to
enter the field of grain operations with the opportunity to
participate in the Exchange through a program tailored to
their interests and needs. Through a combination of special
presentations and one-on-one interaction, students will learn
about issues currently facing the world of grain operations
and connect with established industry professionals.
Student day includes two components. First, professionals
in various grain operations fields will address students
regarding topics of interest in the agribusiness world today,
as well as share their own professional and educational
backgrounds and their experiences in the industry so far.
Following the presentations, Membership Committee
volunteers will lead students on individual or small-group
tours of the Exchange Expo.
Attendance at Student Day also entitles students (and
accompanying faculty members) to attend all regular
education programs during the conference. Participating
students will also become complimentary Student members
of GEAPS for the duration of their schooling plus one year
past their graduation date—GEAPS’ way of investing in the
future of the industry.

Opening Workshop
Developing Your Future Leaders
Sunday, Feb. 21, 8–11 a.m.
In line with popular Exchange educational session topics in recent years—as well
as the theme of the 2008 and 2009 GEAPS Leadership Conferences—the Opening
Workshop at Exchange 2010 in Wichita will focus on developing the workforce.
The morning-long session, kicking off the Wichita education program, will discuss
developing the next generation of leaders at your company.
The 2010 Exchange Educational Programming Committee has brought in Jim Doyle,
a professional speaker and leadership consultant, to present the workshop. Doyle will
“give the audience something tangible to use at their offices or facilities the very next
day,” said EPC Chair Kathy Reading. The session will begin with an overview of how
young professionals operate in the working world. What impact does the “feel” of
a workplace have on them? How important is the relationship between employee
and boss? Doyle emphasizes the importance of taking time in the hiring process to
choose employees who fit in with your company on multiple levels and will be better
resources over the course of their careers.
The next portion of the seminar will focus on finding people who possess
attributes you need for long-term success, as well as examining your own leadership style to see how you fit
into the equation. Are you a leader or a manager? How do you engage your workers? How can getting to know your employees
make them better and more efficient on the job?
The Opening Workshop will also teach you to engage your employees and assess them for strengths and weaknesses;
establish trust in a working relationship; create a leader development program to identify candidates for promotions; and,
finally, create a positive workplace environment of workers who go the extra mile. “We hope that as many people as possible will
take advantage of this opportunity to hear Jim speak,” said Reading. “It will be well worth getting up early on Sunday morning!”

SCHEDULE OF EXPO PODS
Pod 3 – Hall I Southwest Pod 1 – Hall I Northwest
Exchange 2010 marks the fourth year of smallgroup “pod” educational sessions in the Expo Hall.
Since it started with the first sessions back in 2007,
the pod program has since grown steadily over
the years in response to demand. The upcoming
Exchange will offer a dozen pod sessions, all on
topics related to dust collection systems and maintenance.
What makes the pods such a standout? It’s the
real-world information not available anywhere else.
Exchange delegates get up close to equipment,
learning about it directly from manufacturers. It’s
a golden opportunity for hands-on education on
equipment features, uses and maintenance.
“Our pod focus this year is on `Dust Collection’
—from bag house maintenance and troubleshooting, to demonstrating how air velocity and material
weight impact the efficiency of a dust filter. The pods
will also cover dust suppression using mineral oil,
newer filter systems, and how to save energy using
controllers,” said Educational Programming Committee Chair Kathy Reading. “We will be bringing in the
experts in these fields so they can share their tips and
know-how right to the show floor. You won’t find
this opportunity for hands-on demonstrations in a
small group atmosphere at any other convention!”
Pods have a maximum capacity of 30 people, and
attendance is first-come, first served. Take a look at
the pod schedule (right) and show up early to help
secure your place.
Thanks to the EPC, GEAPS Associate members and
other vendors, who offer their equipment for use in
the pods and help produce the program.

AGRIBUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
The Mechanized Grain Elevator:
How Did We Get Here?
William J. Brown, author, Cincinnati, OH
The mechanized grain elevators of today have their roots in American history. This session, by the author of a new book, will discuss how we got here,
and why an understanding of the past may be useful to us in the future. What necessities led to the invention of the mechanized elevator? How did it
work? How did grain elevators become so important to the development of the U.S.? How did they influence grain handling in other countries? And
what happened to the old American classics?
GRAIN FACILITY OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
Shipping Grain in Containers:
An Opportunity for Your Company?
Bo DeLong, vice president and grain manager, The DeLong Co Inc,
Clinton, WI
This session will discuss the logistics, and advantages and disadvantages, of shipping grain in containers. Although the economy has been in decline,
eventually the U.S. will see more of those steel boxes and they’ll need a haul-back overseas. Could it be an opportunity for your company? The session
will discuss the mechanics of loading in containers, markets, economics, drayage and other considerations.
Construction-Project Oversight: What Do You
Do When The Manager’s Not On Site?
Jerry Wille, president, Curry-Wille & Assoc, Ames, IA
What do you do when a company or facility manager can’t be on site to monitor a construction project? How do you ensure that the work will get
done precisely according to plan? This session will discuss how to create a detailed check-list, covering everything appropriate—from the size of the
excavation to the quality of the stairway handrails to the grades of bolt utilized. The session will focus on steel-tank construction management as an
example, but will also apply to construction oversight generally.
Asset Management of Concrete Structures
Richard W. Kobetz, PE, independent consulting engineer, president,
Sunfield Engineering Inc, Cedar, MI
This session will discuss methods and recommended practices for monitoring the integrity of concrete structures. Different tools that managers can
use for recognizing potential problem areas will be covered, along with how to develop an effective structure-monitoring process. Topics will include
a brief overview of the design of concrete structures typically used in grain elevators, developing a baseline review, the recognition and evaluation of
serious vs. less serious issues, and when to call in professional assistance, and what to expect from it.
GRAIN HANDLING EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT
Bin Sweeps vs. Skid-Steer Doors
Ed Kovarik, project manager, Bratney Companies, Boise, ID
Which of the options makes sense for your facility? Find out at this session, which will discuss the pros and cons of bin-sweep systems and skid-steer
doors, providing comparative information on material, labor and electrical costs, maintenance requirements, and manpower and safety considerations.
Bearings: Installation and Preventive
Maintenance
John Ahart, industry manager, Emerson Power Transmission,
Overland Park, KS
This session will offer a nuts-and-bolts look at bearing types and designs, and how to install and maintain them. It will cover mounted-bearing types
and capabilities, radial and thrust loads, ring-locking mechanisms, seal designs, thermal expansion and misalignment, lubrication types and methods,
and installation and removal methods.
Dust-Collection Systems: An Overview
Dinesh Mali, vice president engineering, Caltex BMH Systems/
Shanta Engineering, Irving, TX
This session will provide a fundamental overview of dust-control systems. It will discuss what equipment is vented, CFM and velocity determinations,
duct sizing, dust-collector sizing, balancing ductwork, and other key dust-control considerations.
HANDLING SYSTEMS AND OPERATIONS TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT
Getting More from Your Hazard-Monitoring
Systems
Doug Forst, president, CMC Industrial Electronics Ltd,
Burnaby, BC, Canada
Hazard-monitoring equipment at grain facilities can supply high-quality information that can be used to improve maintenance practices. This session
will discuss what types of data (including bearing temperatures and belt-tracking statistics) can be retrieved from hazards-monitoring systems, show
how it can be obtained in usable formats, and how it can be applied for maximum value.
Using a PLC for More than Just a Push-Button
Replacement
Steve Reed, director of sales, Kasa Industrial Controls,
Salina, KS
In this session, you will learn how you can be assured that you are running your equipment to full capacity. The session will review the latest in monitoring, the advantages and disadvantages of web-enabled Human-Machine-Interface, what to look for in order to prevent problems from happening
and how remote access can help save money. It will also discuss how executives can use the data from a facility to make good business decisions. The
presentation will use real-life case studies, as well as the latest research.
HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
Employee Orientation:
Starting Off on the Right Foot
Jeff Frizell, human resources manager, MKC, Moundridge, KS
Getting employees started on sound footing takes some knowledge, organization and effort, but it’s likely to pay off in the long term. This session will
discuss what companies should consider to set the stage early in the employment process—from the job offer through the first day, week and month
at work. It will cover topics ranging from simply taking the new person to lunch and touring the facility to explaining the employee handbook, creating
a learning-and-development plan, and establishing a climate of mutual trust.
www.geaps.com
GRAIN-QUALITY MANAGEMENT
Current Research in Grain Handling & Storage:
What Does It Mean, and Where Do We Go Next?
Paul Armstrong, agricultural engineer, USDA-ARS, Grain Marketing
Production Research Center, Manhattan, KS
Leland McKinney, assistant professor, Kansas State University,
Manhattan, KS
Klein Ileleji, assistant professor & extension engineer, Purdue University,
West Lafayette, IN
Dr. Charlie Hurburgh, professor, Iowa State University, Ames, IA
Members of GEAPS’ Educational Programming Committee have allocated almost two hours for this special, interactive session, designed to update
industry pros about advances in grain-quality research, and also to get their ideas about where to focus next. Professors participating in the NC-213
research consortium at major universities will discuss promising results of their investigations. The session will cover practical applications of research
relating to CO2 monitoring, quality traits in wheat, distillers-grains handling, and geographical mapping of grain-quality differences. They’ll also be
asking for industry input about operational problems that need solving. This has been a difficult year; come prepared with your list of the top issues
that someone needs to solve.
Developing a Fumigation Management Plan
Pamela Peckman, quality and technical services,
The Industrial Fumigant Co, Olathe KS
If your facility or company fumigates for pest control, it probably needs a Fumigation Management Plan, or FMP, to comply with Environmental Protection Administration and State Lead Agency requirements. FMPs are organized, written plans detailing steps involved to ensure a safe fumigation. This
session will provide background and discuss basic requirements, supporting documents needed and safety monitoring. Information specific to railcar
fumigations will also be discussed.
PROPERTY AND CASUALTY RISK MANAGEMENT
Developing an Electrical Safety Program for
Your Workplace
Mark Wirfs, president, R&W Engineering Inc, Beaverton, OR
Electrical safety in processing facilities is extremely important because of the proliferation of handling and other equipment driven by many motors.
Within the context of OSHA electrical safety requirements, the most comprehensive standard for electrical safety in the workplace is NFPA No. 70E. This
presentation will provide a basic overview of the requirements to set up and implement a plant electrical safety program. It will use the principles of
NFPA 70E extensively and include discussion about program requirements, electrical hazards (including shock and arc flash), and methods of controls
for your employees.
Dust Collection and Regulatory Compliance
Don Lear, senior engineer, Kice Industries, Wichita, KS
Recent revisions to standards of the National Fire Protection Assn. have affected the way in which dust-collection systems must be designed, built and
installed. This presentation will provide information about the revised standards, address what facilities need to do to ensure that a dust collector is
NFPA-compliant, and provide insight as to what future legislation may be coming for the industry.
What Should You Do Before the Ambulance
Arrives?
Gary Curmode, fire chief, Sedgwick County Fire Dept,
Sedgwick County, KS
Someone gets hurt at your facility. You call 911. Now what? Besides providing basic first aid or CPR, what should you do medically during the next 10 or
15 minutes? What can and should you do ethically and legally? This session will help grain-facility professionals start thinking about what their obligations, responsibilities and limitations might be before emergency help arrives.
A Look at DOT Safety-Rating Systems
Brian Hammer, fleet consultant, Nationwide Agribusiness,
Des Moines, IA
A new federal system for identifying and rating drivers and carriers that have had safety problems may soon be in place, and if your company transports
grain, you’ll be affected. This session will discuss the new Comprehensive Safety Analysis method (CSA 2010) and how it works. Knowing the details
will help companies deal with “unsatisfactory” or “conditional” ratings, which could put the brakes on their trucking operations, sideline drivers or
make it more difficult to get insurance.
It’s All About You
Chuck Martinek, loss control consultant, risk-management services,
LaMair-Mulock-Condon Co, W Des Moines, IA
GEAPS members who attended this popular, interactive session at Exchange 2009 said we needed to offer it again. It’s designed to motivate management and employees to develop a positive safety culture at their companies. By identifying responsibilities and the underlying causes of accidents,
supervisors and workers will learn how to manage safety as a team.
Food Defense and Regulation
Richard Ryan, assistant deputy director, asset protection division,
corporate security department, ADM, Decatur, IL
Mark Cheviron, corporate vice president-corporate security and services,
ADM, Decatur, IL
Food defense is the subject of a Homeland Security Presidential Directive and has been the focus of hundreds of meetings, discussions, and projects—
and now regulation. This session will provide information concerning the current status of food-defense risk assessment, planning and regulation, as
well as the processes and implications involved.
Operations Safety, Health & Environmental
Responsibility Forum
Hosted by the NGFA Safety, Health and Environmental
Quality Committee
This operations issues forum, hosted by the NGFA Safety, Health & Environmental Quality Committee, will feature discussion of current, developing and
emerging issues impacting grain handling operations. The forum is an opportunity to get insight and answers directly from leading industry experts
at the forefront of these critically important components of grain and feed operations.

“Keeper of the Plains” statue. First stop is the Keeper Kafe, located in the Mid-America All-Indian
Center, where you’ll get just a taste of the museum during our visit with dessert of Indian fried
bread. You may return to the museum during your free time later in the week and see all it has on
display.
The afternoon continues with a trolley ride to Historic Old Town to tour Wichita’s Museum of
World Treasures. Explore three floors of dinosaurs, ancient civilizations, Marilyn Monroe’s jewelry,
Elvis’ handkerchief and local artifacts of plains Indians.
The Tastes, Sights and Sounds of Wichita
Monday, Feb. 22, 9 a.m.–4 p.m.
First stop on this tour is at the Crown Uptown Theatre. Join the theatre in celebrating
33 years of providing Broadway-style shows and a delicious all-you-care-to-eat buffet prepared by the Crown Uptown’s chef and his outstanding culinary staff. The performance is
the hit show “All Shook Up!” featuring the music of Elvis: It’s 1955 in a sleepy Midwestern
town. One girl’s dream is kick-started when a guitar playing, hip-shaking, motorcycle-riding
hunk comes to town and helps the community discover the magic of romance and the power of rock 'n' roll! This new musical features Elvis Presley’s greatest hits, including “Jailhouse
Rock,” “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Burning Love” and many more!
Board the trolley after your performance and get your chocolate fix at our next stop,
Cero’s, Wichita’s hand-dipped chocolate and candy tradition since 1885. What’s better than
coffee and chocolate on a brisk Wichita afternoon? Guests will get a chance to try their skills
as they make their own hand-dipped treats.
While one half of the group is chocolating, the rest will travel uptown to the College Hill
area to experience the 1915 Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie House, which is considered among
his best designs. Designed for the prominent journalist and Statesman Henry J. Allen and
his wife Elsie J. Nuzman Allen, who was active in local art organizations, the house was occupied until late 1947. The house is considered the last of the Prairie Houses and is full of
unique features and one-of-a-kind original furnishings designed by Wright specifically for
this home.
Guest Optional Event
Wichita Art
Tuesday, Feb. 23, 1–5 p.m.
This tour will take you to the studio of Rollin Karg, a renowned glass artisan from
the Midwest who designs and creates small and massive sculptural pieces from molten glass, usually shaped in a freeform, asymmetrical manner. He brings the glass to
life through his dynamic use of color, especially dichroic colors—a color that transmits
one color while reflecting another—which adds a unique dimension to the piece.
Guests on the Karg Art Studio tour will get to watch as Karg and other glass artisans
create works of art right in front of their eyes. Then it’s off to the Wichita Art Museum
to view additional works by Karg as well as hundreds of other artists.

GEAPS EVENTS
G
GEAPS Annual Meeting
Tuesday, Feb. 23, 3:15–4:45 p.m.
The GEAPS Annual Meeting is the place to catch up on every facet of the association during the past year.
GEAPS 2009-2010 International President Buzz Tourangeau will detail GEAPS’ accomplishments since the
2009 Annual Meeting in St. Louis, as well as goals for the coming year and beyond.
The Annual Meeting is open to everyone, and most Exchange attendees are GEAPS members. Attend
the Annual Meeting to learn about current and developing programs at GEAPS, hear about the rewards of
volunteer leadership, and learn about opportunities for involvement at every level.
The Annual Meeting also includes the GEAPS Safety Awards presentation and the presentation of awards
to those people who have made special contributions to GEAPS through leadership, member recruitment,
outstanding service to their chapter and more. The Annual Meeting is also the place to be for the final
drawing of the ten $100 winners in the Expo Lotto. Remember, you MUST be present to win the Lotto cash!
Database Training for Chapter Leaders
Chapter Leader Workshop
Saturday, Feb. 20, 3–5 p.m.
Passing the Leadership Torch
Does your chapter struggle with managing its member contact list? Consider attending
the Online Member Database Training that will be held at Exchange 2010 in Wichita. This
training will explore the database tools available to chapter leaders. Chapter secretaries,
this is especially for you!
This training will show you how to streamline the work you do by teaching you how
to utilize the very same contact lists that
GEAPS staff use. After attending this training you will have chapter leader access to
the database and you’ll be able to send emails right through the system! You’ll also
be able to set up an automatic welcome email (to be sent when a new member joins
your chapter), create surveys and view
your chapter’s roster at your convenience.
Intrigued by what the database has to
offer? Join us on Saturday, February 20,
from 3-5 p.m. Bring your laptop with a
wireless Internet card, or let us know if
you’ll need to use a GEAPS laptop. There is
no cost to attend this training but please
pre-register by contacting Julia Kloehn
at (952) 928-4640 or [email protected].
Monday, Feb. 22, 4–5 p.m.
So you’ve found a new volunteer leader for your
chapter board…how do you begin to explain what
they have signed up for? You’re not alone in wondering how to best train your new leaders. This
workshop will explore ways to ease the leadership
transition and give your new volunteers the tools
they need to succeed as chapter leaders. Come
and join our roundtable discussion and learn from
other chapter leaders. Before you pass the torch,
make sure you’ve got a system in place to help
your new leaders pick up where you left off.
The Chapter Leader Workshop is presented by
the GEAPS Chapter Resource Committee each year
at the GEAPS Exchange. It is intended for all chapter leaders and any chapter member interested in
chapter leadership. The Chapter Leader Workshop
is the only educational session at the GEAPS Exchange dedicated solely to improving the overall
quality of your chapter.
HOTELS
H
High demand for hotel rooms at Exchange
2010 has led to an early room block sellout at
our three Exchange hotels in Wichita. To assist
with the placement of out-of-towners in February, the Wichita convention and visitors’ bureau
has reached out to other local hotels with availability for Exchange delegates. Please contact
the hotels directly to secure your reservation,
and be sure to mention you are with the GEAPS
Exchange.
At right is a list of alternate hotels with all the
amenities to make your Exchange 2010 stay a
comfortable one.

registration information
This page contains general information on registering to attend GEAPS Exchange 2010.
Questions? Call GEAPS at 00-1 952-928-4640.
How to Register
What are the Early Discounts?
There are two ways you can register for GEAPS Exchange 2010—either
by completing the form on page 15 and faxing/mailing it to GEAPS with
your payment, or by registering online at www.geaps.com. (Credit card
payment required for online option.)
Whichever way you choose, if your registration and payment are
received by Jan. 21, you will qualify for substantial registration discounts.
You can customize the registration package that best fits your needs.
Look over the different options available below to ensure that you will
get the Exchange experience that you are looking for.
All attendees who pre-register for the Exchange will receive a confirmation. For those who register online and provide an e-mail address, they will
receive a confirmation via e-mail. Registrations sent to the GEAPS office
will be confirmed by e-mail (when provided) or regular mail.
You will save 25% on the onsite price for all events if your form and payment
are received by Jan. 21, 2010. This “early pre-registration” discount is your incentive to register now. If either your registration form or payment is received after
Jan. 21 but before the pre-registration cut-off date of Feb. 15, 2010, you will still
qualify for the “pre-registration” discount, which saves you 15% on the onsite
prices. Any registrations made onsite will be charged the full price.
Who Needs to Register
All Exchange events are open only to individuals who are registered
and wearing their official badges. This includes the Expo Hall and all à la
carte and optional events. All exhibitors also need to register individually
for the Exchange (see right).
Guests of registrants must also register and wear their badge to access
any event. If they are only planning to share hotel accommodations, but
not attend any Exchange events, they do not need to register.
What if I’m not a GEAPS member?
Delegates who are not active GEAPS members when they register and
purchase a ‘full’ registration at the non-member rate will receive GEAPS
membership through June 2011. A confirmation of your new membership will be sent separately from your Exchange registration confirmation
(after the conference).
Note: The membership offer does not include exhibitors, unless they
elect to enclose an additional $235/each to cover the membership dues.
What if I Have to Cancel?
Registration cancellations received by GEAPS no later than Jan. 21, 2010,
entitle the registrant to a full refund. Cancellations received after that date will
be charged a 25% administrative fee. Refunds can be made only when the refund
request is made in writing and received by Feb. 15, 2010. There are no refunds
for cancellations made onsite. All refunds will be processed after the conference.
Consult your hotel confirmation for instructions on canceling reservations.
For Exchange Exhibitors
All exhibitors coming to the Exchange must register individually. Each
person planning on attending must send in a registration form (or register
online).
Each exhibiting company receives two complimentary exibitor registrations per each 10’x10’ booth they have reserved. Exhibitors may
purchase guest, à-la-carte or optional tickets. As a perk for being part of
the Exchange, all exhibitors receive the GEAPS member rate for tickets,
regardless of whether the individuals are members or not. (See note at
left regarding non-members.)
Any additional individuals beyond the two complimentary exhibitor
registrations may also attend but must purchase additional exhibitor
registrations (at a special reduced rate). Exhibitors cannot register with
complimentary Expo passes or an Expo-only ticket.

EXTRAS
Get-Acquainted Party
Saturday, Feb. 20, 7–11 p.m., Hyatt Regency Wichita Grand Eagle Ballroom
The Exchange kicks off with a western twist on the traditional annual Get-Acquainted
Party. Just after sundown, mosey over to the Hyatt Ballroom, where all travel-weary trail
hands can belly up to the bar to wash down the trail dust and grab some western-style
vittles at the buffet.
Take a load off while listening to the toe-tapping Diamond
W Wranglers and clap your hands as you are entertained by
the famous Dixie Lee Dancing Gals, known for their highstepping, petticoat-twirling ways. If you’re feeling lucky,
venture over to the high-stakes “Kansas Hold ‘em” poker
table (we’re not in Texas anymore).
If you think you’re trail material, show
those city slickers what’s what and head to the Corral and hop onto
“Brutus,” the best bucking, kicking and spinning mechanical bull in
the country. Or try your hand at electronic calf roping atop “Victor,”
our life-size stationary horse. Get your lassos ready!
Admission includes two drink tickets per person, a full dinner
buffet, games and entertainment. The party is included in the Delegate and Guest Full registrations and can also be purchased separately à la carte.
President’s Banquet and Club GEAPS
Tuesday, Feb. 23, 6–11 p.m., Hyatt Regency Wichita Grand Eagle Ballroom
Exchange 2010 will wind down with some well-deserved fun at the
President’s Banquet and Club GEAPS. Exchange attendees and guests will
begin the evening with cocktails outside the ballroom (beverage coupons
provided with Banquet ticket) before heading inside to join GEAPS officers
for dinner and the evening’s entertainment.
Once again, the banquet will include our
featured entertainment. Comic magician Tim
Gabrielson will wow Exchange attendees with
his highly technical magic while keeping us
laughing throughout the show.
Following the Banquet, Exchange 2010 will
end on a high note with Club GEAPS, a casual
event including desserts, live music, drinks
and conversation. Grab a dessert (or two!) and
enjoy the music while winding down another
great Exchange.
Banquet tickets are included in Delegate
and Guest Full registrations and can also be purchased à la carte. Club
GEAPS does not require a ticket and is open to all Exchange 2010 attendees
and guests.
KSU: Grain Science Lab Tour
Wednesday, Feb 24, 8 a.m.–6 p.m.
Kansas State University, GEAPS' strategic partner for continuing education and professional
development, has been an important participant
in the great tradition of grain science since 1905,
when it set up a small-scale mill in the corner of
a chemistry laboratory, leading to the Department of Milling Industries. With the addition of
a feed curriculum in 1951; a baking program in
1963; and finally a commitment to all aspects of
grain science, processing and utilization in 1966,
the program evolved into the distinguished
Grain Science and Industry department. Today,
this program has a long-standing reputation of
exceptional students, global industry influence
and cutting-edge research.
The Grain Science and Industry program at
Kansas State University is the only program of its
kind in the United States, and during Exchange
2010 you’ll get the chance to take a closer look at
the teachings and research at the Grain Science
laboratory facility and how it is changing the face
of the grain industry.
Transportation will be provided from the Hyatt
Regency Wichita to Manhattan, Kan., where you’ll
tour the facilities, have lunch and get an in-depth
update of current research. You’ll arrive back at
the Hyatt Regency Wichita no later than 6 p.m. If
you are interested in attending, be sure to schedule your hotel and air accordingly.
Fun Run Walk –
A Full 1 10 of a Marathon
Sunday, Feb. 21, 6:30 a.m. start
Whether you want to run or walk 2 miles, 5 miles,
10 or 26, we’ll map it out for you: this is the event for
those of you with the extra get up and go on Sunday
morning of the Exchange.
There is no fee for the Fun Run, but please let
us know if you’re bringing your running shoes by
marking this event on the registration form.

EDUCATION
Registration Now Open for Pest Management,
Grain Quality Distance Education Courses
With the first two GEAPS-KSU courses of
2010 underway, registration is open for the
next available courses.
“Management of Insect Pests in Stored
Grain,” the second of four new courses for
2010, will focus on common pests in stored
grain as well as provide the fundamental
knowledge needed to manage infestations
using both nonchemical and chemical methods. The course will take place over six weeks.
“Grain Quality Management,” a GEAPS
classic, is back again for winter 2010. This fiveweek course focuses on the management and
maintenance of quality grains and oilseeds.
Lecture topics include quality factors of valueadded grains and oilseeds, moisture content
determination, grain sampling and quality
standards, the relationship between air and
grain properties, and more.
All GEAPS - K SU distance education
courses are designed specifically for profes-
sionals in grain operations and related fields.
CDs with course “lectures” are mailed to participants, who the engage in a user-friendly but
structured Web-based curriculum developed
and administered by KSU.
Through additional study time and
assignments, students stay motivated and are
encouraged to interact with the course instructor and fellow students. Students follow and
online syllabus, working through each course
lesson in sequence, and taking quizzes to make
sure the material has been mastered. Although
students must complete the courses within
the specified period, they’re free to do so on
their own schedules—day or night, seven days
a week. Course tuition is currently $515 for
GEAPS members and $715 for non-members.

Kansas City Chapter “Podcast”
By Ron Demaray, RCI, Kansas City Chapter
The GEAPS Kansas City Chapter had their first “podcast” on Tuesday,
Nov. 17, 2009. Well, it wasn’t really a podcast, but we did have pods—
four, to be exact. Our program began
at 1 p.m. with an “at-will” tour of the
National Agricultural Center and Hall
of Fame in Bonner Springs, Kan. The
afternoon pod sessions began at 3 p.m.
and concluded with a catered dinner
at 6 p.m.
The four pod sessions were all
related to maintenance and the program was attended by 50 people, many
of whom were not GEAPS members.
Each pod was approximately 40 minutes long. Each pod’s monitor was a
specialist in their field, and directed the
question-and-answer sessions at the
Ron Demaray
end of each demonstration. Displays
on hand included a working elevator
leg; leg monitoring equipment; gearboxes, motors, and bearings; a bag
house filter; parts of a screw; and round bottom drag.
