2021 Landowner Workshop Series 

Workshop Topics 

We asked the question in 2020: Is this the new normal? As we forge ahead into, hopefully, calmer waters on the trade, pandemic, market, and other fronts, what does the future look like? Large government payments, higher grain markets, and weather conditions are creating opportunities for many producers. How do those opportunities look for cash rents, land values, and a producer's profitability? Where does technology, sustainability, solar, and hunting leases fit into all of this? Our workshop presenters cover topics addressing all these items as we look to help you, the landowner, Forge Ahead with your land asset.    

Company executives will present the following timely and informative topics: 

Ag Economic Barometer 

2020 certainly was an interesting year. New year, new opportunities, new risks. Learn what is on the horizon as we forge ahead. 

Technology  

Learn how agriculture technology is benefitting landowner bottom lines through real-life examples. 

Farm and Ranch Management Leasing 

What are the current leasing trends as we forge ahead? Learn how an in-depth analysis helps determine the path forward 

Forging Ahead with Options for Your Land 

Owning ag land today doesn't limit you to just crops or grazing.  As a landowner, you can look for additional sources of income including capitalizing on the value of your land through a sale. 

Building Sustainability into Landownership  

Sustainability, ESG, and solar are popular news headlines, but what do they mean for you? As a landowner, understanding the fundamentals of each is important.    

Forging a New Path 

Trying to figure out what to do next? Learn about what options are available as you forge ahead into a new chapter of landownership. 

Elements Shaping the Grain Markets  

Discover how supply and demand, trade, regulation and other outside factors influence the agricultural commodity markets.
