SUMMARY:Midwest Agriculture Conference
DESCRIPTION:After several strong years\, agriculture has generally been less profitable lately\, and astute operators have a renewed focus on minimizing input costs. On December 3\, 2024\, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago will hold a hybrid event to evaluate shifts related to agricultural inputs for Midwest farming. Every farm operation needs inputs to function\, yet in recent years there have been numerous modifications to the structure of input markets. The lay of the land for farm inputs has evolved as technological\, financial\, and competitive factors have brought change. Experts from academia\, industry\, and policy institutions will gather at the conference to discuss the altered economics of agricultural inputs. \n\n\n\nIn-person cost $40. \n\n\n\nRegistration deadline: December 2\, 2024.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8:15 am CT \n\n\n\n\n\nBreakfast and registration\n\n\n\n*For in person audiences \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9:00 am CT \n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome Remarks\n\n\n\nLeslie McGranahan\, Senior Vice President\, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9:10 am CT \n\n\n\n\n\nSession I: Agricultural Inputs and Market Shifts\n\n\n\nKate Vaiknoras\, Research Agricultural Economist\, Economic Research Service\, U.S. Department of Agriculture \n\n\n\nBrian Briggeman\, Professor and Director\, Arthur Capper Cooperative Center\, Kansas State University \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:40 am CT \n\n\n\n\n\nSession II: Key Topics Related to Farm Inputs\n\n\n\nVictor Cabrera\, Professor and Extension Specialist\, University of Wisconsin-Madison \n\n\n\nBruce Erickson\, Clinical Professor of Digital Agriculture\, Purdue University \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:00 pm CT \n\n\n\n\n\nLuncheon and Fireside Chat\n\n\n\nDavid Oppedahl\, Policy Advisor\, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago\, moderator \n\n\n\nMatt Carstens\, President & CEO\, Landus Cooperative \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1:30 pm CT \n\n\n\n\n\nSession III: Panel on Financing Farm Inputs\n\n\n\nNate Kauffman\, Senior Vice President\, Economist\, and Omaha Branch Executive\, Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City\, moderator \n\n\n\nPanelists:  \n\n\n\nMichael Gunderson\, Chief Credit Officer\, Farm Credit Illinois \n\n\n\nDavid Hardin\, Hardin Farms \n\n\n\nSusan Whitson\, CEO\, First Bank\, and President\, First of Waverly Corporation \n\n\n\nJohn Winger\, Director\, A&T Retail Credit Delivery – US & Canada\, John Deere Finance \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2:45 pm CT \n\n\n\n\n\nClosing Remarks\n\n\n\nAustan Goolsbee\, President and CEO\, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\nThis is a hybrid event with in-person and virtual attendance options.
