Marketing & Input Strategies Webinar Program: These are repeat sessions offered on Thursday, November 7th at 6:30 PM and Tuesday, December 3rd at 6:30 PM. Participants are encouraged to attend either or both sessions. Free.
How do grain prices and market conditions influence revenue or product availability? Can you act now to secure profits or priority needs? Identifying your crop price and input needs are all part of maximizing yield potential and secure profits. At the Marketing & Input Strategies webinar, speakers will discuss current market conditions and optimal strategies for putting your farm plans into action.
Michigan farmers need to manage many risks. Production risk brought on by weather, price risk from volatile markets, and even input cost risk can be challenging to manage. To aid producers in managing or reducing impacts from these types of risks, MSU Extension is offering the Marketing & Input Strategies sessions as part of a new season of the virtual Farm Policy and Risk Management Series.
To participate, registration is required. To register today, visit: https://events.anr.msu.edu/fprms/
