T he move to restart the economy after the lockdown recession has begun, but what can we expect from this point? There are estimates calling for a robus t recovery in Q3 and Q4 and estimates calling for a second wave of infectio n that crushes the economy again. What do we need to know right now? What s hould we be prepared for in the months to come? Dr. Chris Kuehl is the econ omic analyst for the Fabricators and Manufacturers Association and the Nati onal Association for Credit Management.
Doug Johnson, Director – Ag Strategist, Moody’s Analytics, Omaha, Neb.
Join Doug Johnson as he discusse s the top three challenges in agriculture today: the continuing “grinder” c ycle impact, what’s coming for new ag technology, and “the changing of the guard” (experience transitioning both on the farm and within ag banks). As these three challenges converge, the concern is becoming clearer: Can ag pr oducers afford to keep farming? Can ag banks continue to be an ag bank? Wha t will it take to survive, thrive, and remain relevant for the future? Come and hear not only the challenges, but also key opportunities for ag produc ers and ag lenders alike as we move into the new future of agriculture.

They will wrap up this ses sion with a collaborative Q&A portion aimed at helping your clients pro tect and manage margins which will help strengthen your relationship with t hem. After all, statistics show that picking margin targets is a more susta inable way to manage an agricultural business than attempting to pick tops and bottoms in markets.
