Make plans to attend the August 7, 2013 Mid South Ag Finance Conference at The University Center on the campus of The University of Tennessee at Martin. The conference runs from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Registration information can be found at http://www.utm.edu/staff/banking/agconference/.

Another group of outstanding speakers has been lined up for this year’s conference. Speakers include Dr. Dave Kohl, Richard Brock, Dr. Daryll Ray, and Dr. Matt Roberts. These experts will provide lenders and agricultural producers with financial tools and up-to-date information on commodity and land prices, marketing and risk management techniques, farm policy changes, and economic and interest rate trends.  The registration fee is $150 for lenders and ag service providers, $75 for farmers and producers (many lenders pay their customers registration fee), and $25 for spouses and students.

The popular informal pre-conference evening session on August 6 with Dave Kohl is also back. Dr. Kohl will provide producers with practical tools for managing growth and transferring operations to a new generation of farmers. The pre conference session is $30.
