Purdue Top Farmer Crop Workshop, July 20-23

Fine tune your farm management skills at this nationally-recognized program held every summer on the Purdue campus. Not for many years have the opportunities been so great for crop producers, but with prices for land and inputs also at historic highs, the risks are exceptionally high as well. The Top Farmer Crop Workshop offers over 50 presenters, many nationally-recognized experts on a variety of topics, the opportunity to analyze your farm’s management setup using linear programming, and a venue to interact with other farmers who share similar concerns. Full registration is $300, but first time attendees qualify for a $100 discount. Additional attendees from the same farm pay $100. Many previous attendees credit their success to what they learned, and the contacts that they made at this workshop. To see this year’s planned agenda, registration materials, and other information, please see: Top Crop Workshop
