Farmers who are trying to determine potential market returns, interest rates and the best farm program in which to enroll can find some answers at the Farm Profit Conference Feb. 10 at the Citizen Pottawatomie Community Center, 806 Nishnabe Trail in Rossville.
The doors open at 5:30 p.m., and attendees can view displays before the dinner begins at 6 p.m. The event is the first of four spring farm informational programs being planned by 580 WIBW and the Shawnee County Extension Service.
Featured speaker is Tom Leffler, of Leffler Commodities in Augusta, who will present “The Markets: Which Way Will They Go?” In addition, Lance Thompson, of Shawnee County Farm Service Agency, will talk about new farm bill programs and how to determine which one is best for one’s farming operation, and Jim Aylward, of Frontier Farm Credit, will present “Financing in Changing Times.”
There is no cost for the program and meal, but reservations are required by noon Feb. 9. To make reservations, call the Shawnee County Extension office at (785) 232-0062 or e-mailkelly.lenz@morris.com.
Additional conferences are scheduled Feb. 19 in Council Grove, March 4 in Ottawa and March 18 in Westmoreland.
