Last night at Kentucky night, I had the opportunity to catch up with a few of this year’s symposium attendees and ask them why they chose to come.
The first person I caught up with was Clark Springfield division manager with O.H. Kruse Grain and Milling. Springfield is attending the Agribusiness Summit at symposium. The summit is a discussion opportunity for agriculture business people to talk about issues they have witnessed and how to solve them. Springfield said, “It sends me home ready to tackle problems in my own company.”

Ryan Goodman is an agricultural blogger for agricultureproud.com and Master’s student at the University of Tennessee. He came to symposium to learn more about research being done in his area of interest, which is nutrition.
Goodman said he enjoys getting to “interact with a lot of the folks in a similar field across the country and across the world.”

Dr. Pearse Lyons hosts the Alltech International Symposium as the founder and owner of Alltech. He sees symposium as an opportunity to come together as an industry to learn from one another.
Lyons said, “It’s a regeneration. It’s a recharging of the batteries. It’s realizing lots of people have the same challenges you do.”
