“Navigating Taxes, Trade and Technology: What’s Ahead for Food & Agriculture?” is the theme for the annual Agri-Pulse Ag & Food Policy Summit coming up next month on St. Patrick’s Day in Washington, D.C.

This must-attend annual event will feature keynote speakers and panelists focused on these topics as well as provide time for networking with industry leaders. Agri-Pulse Founder and Publisher Sara Wyant says this year the Summit is more important than ever for the agribusiness industry.

“The theme this year is really focused on what are going to be some of the key issues that you’re going to see coming out of the Trump administration,” said Wyant. “President Trump has made no secret that he wants to have the Tax Cuts and JOBS Act not only renewed but also expanded to include provisions like no taxes on tips and Social Security, so taxes will be a big part of the discussion, not only for personal and income and business taxes, but also looking at tax incentives that a lot of farmers have been thinking about in terms of sustainable aviation fuel.”

“Trade is another big part because as we all know, President Trump’s one of his favorite words is tariffs…So we’ll be talking about what’s the trade front look like and also taking a look at technology because there are so many technological advances in agriculture right now and in food processing that we can accomplish a lot of the things that President Trump has laid out in terms of generating more business in the United States,” Wyant added.

The Summit will be held at the National Press Club, offering in-person and virtual attendance options. Registration is now open and you can take advantage of early bird registration rates through February 17.
