Right before the NAFB Convention again this year is the NAMA Agribusiness Forum. It’s not too early to start making plans. This is going to be a challenge for me since opening day of Missouri deer season is the Saturday before the Forum. Normally I’d be in the woods through Tuesday so we’ll see what happens. Depends on how good the hunting is those first few days!

Global forces are shaping agriculture, from the influence of consumer choices to bio fuels, American farmers and the businesses that support them are at a unique crossroads. Today the production system is aligned to serve consumers across the globe, from food processors in China to ethanol plants in Iowa, farm products are hot commodities. Where is it headed?

Policy makers, producers, consumers and suppliers in the American food, feed and fuel system are strategizing to identify direction and added value for the system’s future. This fall’s Agribusiness Forum, hosted by the National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA), will give you a glimpse into the role each of these entities expects to play in the evolving marketplace here and across the globe as we explore the Global Forces Shaping Agriculture.
