Cindy Zimmerman

Are you ready to Farmer Up at Commodity Classic 2017? Well, you better get ready ‘cuz it’s just around the corner now, coming up March 2-4 in San Antonio, Texas.

Attendee surveys indicate that networking with other farmers is a highly rated experience at Commodity Classic. “Commodity Classic attracts thousands of America’s best farmers from across the nation—and they all share a passion for agriculture and a thirst for knowledge,” said Ed Erickson, Jr., a North Dakota farmer and co-chair of the 2017 Commodity Classic. “We share with each other how we can make our farms more profitable; and, if I can tweak anything that comes from Texas or the East coast to make my farm even better, that really adds to the value of attending Commodity Classic.” 2017 Commodity Classic Co-Chair Ed Erickson, Jr.

Kevin Ross, an Iowa farmer and co-chair of the 2017 Commodity Classic, said that striking up a conversation with other farmers is easy to do. “All you’ve got to do is reach out and shake somebody’s hand, and all of a sudden you’re going to be talking shop to them. Just having that handshake and meeting somebody new can really benefit your own farm. Over the years, that networking has become very valuable to our operation, and there’s not a better place to do it than Commodity Classic,” he said.2017 Commodity Classic Co-Chair Kevin Ross
