Plan ahead for profit at Crops and Cattle

Let’s talk about planning ahead—for the year and for your operation. 

With so many producer meetings and webinars available, how do you choose which ones are worth your time? Maybe you’re focused on improving soil health, or you want to learn more about building a stronger cowherd. Are you struggling with a pesky weed and need some suggestions on herbicides? Or do you just need a nudge to finally start that transition plan you’ve been putting off. 

As longtime readers, you lean on our team to deliver the latest news, markets, and technology moving agriculture forward. This summer we’re bringing these insights to you live at Crops and Cattle Conference on Aug. 4 to 6, at the Kansas City Convention Center.

Sessions will cover topics such as cattle market outlook, weed management for corn and soybeans, grain marketing in an evolving world with consolidation and shifting markets, grazing management and regenerative practices panel and more. Whether you’re connecting with top vendors, hearing from industry leaders, or expanding your network, Crops and Cattle Conference will help you develop a strategy that will influence your bottom line.
