It’s time to get back on the agriblogging highway with a trip to the 2015 Agricultural Retailers Association Conference & Expo. The theme is Performance. Precision. Passion.

We’re going to discover how performance, precision and passion shapes success through presentations, networking and exhibits at this event for ag retailers and suppliers. You can still attend if you would like and just register on-site.

Our Jamie Johansen spoke with ARA Chairman, Dave DuFault, Simplot, to provide a preview of this year’s conference.

Presentations and discussions at the ARA Conference & Expo will feature topics such as sustainability within the food-chain, water issues, fertilizer trends, financial movements in the ag sector and personal health and wellness.

The conference will feature keynote presentations by Steve Peterson, General Mills; Paul Wenger, California Farm Bureau; and Jim Prokopanko, The Mosaic Company. Ed Skelton with the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, Dr. Robert Orford with The Mayo Clinic, Michael Turley of OsbornBarr and other noted speakers will lead workshops during the conference.
