I’m missing a NAMA Boot Camp but that doesn’t mean we don’t know what’s going on in Kansas City. Thanks to Jenny Pickett, NAMA CEO and Merritt Engel, Merrigan and Co. for the info and pictures. In this first photo, Derek Fuemmeler, CCA Yield Max Crop and Consulting Services, LLC, presents ideas in the session “A Year of a Life of a Row Crop Producer.”

According to Jenny there are just over 80 in attendance. The boot camp kicked off with the Mokan Ag tour that included stops at Kurzweil Farms and NECO Seeds.

The professional development started with a networking session and has included a session on Social Media and Southwest Airlines, Pitching to the Ag Media, Dealing with the Client as well as “year in the life” presentations from cow calf, row crop and specialty producers.

Today will wrap up with a session Jedi Creative.

In this photo attendees of the 2009 NAMA Boot Camp gathered for a reception and tour at Boulevard Brewing Company, the largest specialty brewer in the Midwest. So you see, it’s not all hard work at Boot Camp.
