Today’s agriculture environment is more dynamic than ever, with multiple points of data to help navigate the growth of your farming operation. Iowa Farm Bureau’s 2021 Economic Summit Webinar Series will help synthesize that volume of information into useful insights. By bringing qualified experts right to your computer, we’ll examine topics impacting Iowa agriculture and the economic contributions originating from farms.
This FREE, informative 6-part series, which kicks off on Thursday, January 14 and runs through Thursday, February 25, allows participants to ask questions and directly engage with leading experts.
Participants will get timely information from those leading the production of the world’s authoritative data and analytics such as USDA’s forecasts and estimates. You’ll hear insights on the market drivers to watch in the most anticipated reports on U.S. and world agriculture from the immediate past chair of the World Agricultural Outlook Board who was responsible for the review and approval of the World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report. We’ll also bring that expertise home with members from Iowa State University faculty sharing how economic shifts are likely to impact Iowa.
Opportunities to travel and directly view foreign markets and competitors has been limited and will be for the immediate future. A boots-on-the-ground dialogue, with a Brazilian agricultural specialist who took part in Iowa Farm Bureau’s Market Study Tour to Brazil, will provide useful insights on how Brazil is looking at the COVID-driven changes in global trade.
The U.S. is responding to needs to enhance our transportation logistics and our ability to compete in distant markets. A session with the Soy Transportation Coalition will examine the economic drivers and plans for investments and strategies to improve the market-profile of U.S. agriculture.
