A Dairy and Ag Outlook Seminar: Understanding a Changing Industry, will be held Wednesday, June 14 at Ridgeway Community Center, 690 County St., Ridgeway, from 9:30 a.m.-3:15 p.m. This seminar is sponsored by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, University of Minnesota Extension, and University of Wisconsin Extension. The seminar is targeted toward assisting ag lenders and farm financial advisers in helping farmers manage risk and understand market outlooks.
“Price risk management continues to be a major variable for profitability in many commodity enterprises while land has seen record inflation,” said Jennifer Bentley, dairy specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. “Understanding the ag markets is a necessary part of lender portfolio management.”
