Starting out at 1 PM on Tuesday, August 22, board the bus for a tour of Farm Credit Services in Omaha. While you’re there, Chad Gent, Senior Vice President of Retail Credit will talk about “How the Current Economy is Affecting the Lender and the Farmer.” After that Human Resources will explain what they do to attract new talent to their business. After that we’ll take a stop at a micro-brewery for a quick tour and a drink! Follow that up with the welcome reception that evening where you can enjoy drinks and appetizers and a chance to visit with friends.
Wednesday morning we have Tina Barrett, Executive Director and Agricultural Economist from Nebraska Farm Business Inc. speaking again about “The Farmer and the Current Economy,” yet another point of view on the subject of our economy.
