Kansas City | I wanted to extend a "Special Invite" to ALL Ag professionals who might want to attend the event I am hosting in Dodge City, Kansas on August 22nd. This event is going to be BIG and will have many of the largest producers in the Midwest in attendance.
We have had such a great response they have moved the event to the United Wireless Arena.
Senator Pat Roberts is scheduled to come by between 8:30 and 9:00am
Dodge, Ford and Chevy are all bringing by their latest vehicles
John Deere is bringing in some equipment
Harley Davidson is bringing in a few of their newest models
Best of all the event is FREE to any producers who would like to attend. The days events will focus on informing and educating today's farmer about the overall direction of the agriculture industry, and more importantly ways you can improve your overall farming operation. We will have various discussions, roundtables, and Q&A's for networking with other producers and ag business professionals. Below is our tentative agenda for the days events:
