Speakers include University of Nebraska–Lincoln agricultural economists Anastasia Meyer, Cory Walters and Lia Nogueira; Flint Corliss of Nebraska Farm Business, Inc.; meteorologist Don Day Jr. of DayWeather, Inc.; and a representative from the Risk Management Agency.
The event is designed for crop insurance agents, farmers and ranchers, lenders, commodity brokers, professional farm managers, crop consultants, grain merchandisers and financial advisers who want to strengthen their risk management strategies and better advise clients.
