As you begin planning for the year ahead, you’ll want to attend the Purdue Top Farmer Conference—either in West Lafayette, Indiana or online—on Friday, January 9.
This one-day conference brings together Purdue and national experts to help commercial ag producers navigate today’s tight margins, global competition, trade uncertainty, and long-run strategic decisions.
At the conference, you’ll hear timely insights on crop markets, trade and tariffs, global competitiveness, cost management, and strategic flexibility from experts in agronomy and agricultural economics including Ben Brown, Russell Hillberry, Trey Malone, Joana Colussi, Dan Quinn, Shaun Casteel, and Michael Langemeier.
You’ll also have opportunities to ask questions, engage directly with speakers, and connect with fellow producers facing many of the same challenges.
The conference registration fee is $150. All registered participants—both in person and virtual—will receive video recordings and presentation slide decks following the event.
The event will be held at Purdue’s Beck Agricultural Center in West Lafayette.
