Agriculture Today: It Is What It Is… What Should We Do About It?
Join Dr. Kohl and Doug Johnson as they candidly discuss where Agriculture is headed and what everyone needs to do to be prepared.
The agricultural economic downturn is in the seventh year and counting. Most of the industry is facing razor-thin margins combined with increased volatility in the economic environment. This results in extensive changes in the structure of agriculture and rural communities. What is the state of the trade agreements and the short and long-term implications to the bottom line? Where are interest rates, land values, and trends leading the industry? How can one adjust strategies and tactics to cope and survive in this environment? One must have the business intelligence and street smarts to be successful. This session will discuss the assessment of management IQ that often places one in the top third or bottom third of profitability. What are the financial and business management characteristics that one must focus on in planning, strategizing, executing and monitoring for 2020 and beyond?

BREAK
Agriculture is Driving us to “Think Differently Together.” We're Beyond Losing Marginal Producers. We're Now in the Era of Losing Marginal Managers.
The challenges in Agriculture today lie well beyond the financial statements. Come listen to this panel discussion as they share views on what Producers need to do to survive, what Ag Lenders need to provide their Producers, and how "Thinking Differently Together" will be required for the future.
LUNCH BREAK
Farming with Relevance: Bridging the Gap Between the Ag Commodity Markets, DC Policy, and Ag Profitability
Hear further insight on how Ag Lenders and Ag Producers can plan for a sustainable future. Volatility of the markets, uncertain trade partners and DC policy are forcing Agriculture to reassess opportunities and our viability. The old adage of "using the grain bin as the checkbook" may have worked in the past, but moving forward the industry will demand a new genre of business acumen.
