The Next Five Years is an executive conference focused on major shifts happening in the agricultural market place and how they will impact agriculture and consumers from the region to international market place. The focus is to not look at this growing season, nor to look at where agriculture and surrounding markets may be in the next ten years or more, but how things might change and how those impacts will change how we do business locally and globally.
