Farms constantly face changing conditions as they make decisions for their dairy and crop production enterprises. Farm managers and the professionals with whom they work must adapt to these conditions to be able to create plans that give farms optimum profit opportunity. The outlooks for the grain and dairy markets and profit-improving opportunities are the focus of an event specifically designed to help farms, agricultural lenders, and other agricultural professionals better understand 2024’s economic conditions.
The Ag Professionals Update workshop is being held at the Center Town Hall, located at N3990 Hwy. 47 just north of Appleton on Friday, May 3rd. The event is cooperatively sponsored by the UW-Madison, Division of Extension offices located in Brown, Door, Fond du Lac, Kewaunee, Langlade, Manitowoc, Marinette, Oconto, Outagamie, Ozaukee, Shawano, Sheboygan, Washington, and Winnebago Counties.
Topics for the event include:
- 2024 Grain Crop Markets and Margins
