“Who’s Pulling Our Chain?”

Don Reynolds, Kick-Off Session

The 2007 Agribusiness Forum kicked off with Don Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds was Chairman of the Investment Advisory Board before his appointment by President Bush as Pension Board Chairman. In that position, he has oversight of $120 billion in pension and trust funds. Mr. Reynolds shared an overview of the major trends in the global economy and the effect those trends will have on agriculture. So, given the market volatility, how can we prepare for and profit from the changing marketplace? Reynolds says that the early 21st century is the “Golden Age” for agriculture.
