This promises to be one of the most interesting years for corn and soybean production in recent times. We are focusing on issues this year that are key for forward looking crop producers: biofuels, markets, building soil quality, genetic improvements, insect management, and carbon credits. This should be an excellent opportunity for you to network with your colleagues in the industry and learn about the status of these important issues.

We’ll also be recognizing some of our top crop producers and providing an opportunity to network with fellow producers and key industry personnel.
