The International Association of Operative Millers is an international organization of grain millers and industry suppliers devoted to the advancement of education and training opportunities. We know that experience-sharing is a great way to learn more about the art of milling because everyone faces similar challenges.

Join Simon Tiedge, director of technical milling at Miller Milling, each month as he interviews industry veterans and innovators who will share their stories from the roll floor. If you’re already in a mill and would like to enhance your skills or knowledge, or you’re considering a career in the milling industry and want to learn more, this is the podcast for you!
