Advanced Agricultural Lenders Conference

2024 has seen agriculture transition back to a low margin environment. Producers and bankers alike are bracing from several more years of lower profits. Farmers are facing pressure from rising input costs and a low commodity price environment. These low margins, along with other key issues for agriculture loom on the horizon. At the Advanced Ag Banking Conference, attendees will gain actionable insights from industry leaders and economists on navigating the current challenges facing farmers, explore strategies to mitigate risk and optimize lending practices amidst fluctuating agricultural conditions.

We will kick off the conference with a commodity outlook and barometer update on the health of the agricultural economy. Day 1 will be an interactive workshop that will give you tools to help farmers manage the tighter margins they can expect over the foreseeable future.

Day 2 continues with insights on the trends impacting the agricultural sector, essential skills of effective leadership, and an Agricultural Banking Update from Washington, D.C., and, an analysis of global ag markets

The Advanced Ag Banking Conference is designed to provide the lending community with updates on current agricultural topics that can help you better serve your farmer customer. Reserve your place today and invest in your future as a leader in agricultural lending.
