It’s time for the 83rd Annual Meeting and Trade Show of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers. For the first time I’ll be attending the meeting.

The meeting is co-located with Agronomics, a U.S. Ag Investment Conference. So it’s off to Indianapolis this week.

I wanted to know more about ASFMRA and Agronomics so I talked with Howard Halderman, Halderman Farm Management, this morning. Howard is not only a member of ASFMRA but has served on their executive council and is involved in planning the programming for this year’s Agronomics conference. Howard says the conference offers networking opportunities for investors and fund managers together with the land management, property valuation, agricultural consulting, and rural land & property sales experts of ASFMRA.

The conference has a program filled with speakers who will help attendees:

Know the true value as well as the potential value of a property;
Be able to identify and buy valuable land and make a good investment;
Have the right operators to manage the property for the long term;
Provide solid leases to obtain positive results on their investment;
Obtain annual reports that accurately indicate the value and worth of the property.
