Upcoming Bureau County Events

Dr. Boehlje Ag Seminar- The Landscape of Ag, Today and Tomorrow

Event Date and Time: 
February 24, 2012 - 9:00am

Prosperity has come again to the agricultural sector, but what are the risks and how long will it last? Managing the risk and uncertainty in agriculture will be essential to profitability for farmers. This discussion will focus on the current business climate for agriculture, what to watch to see how it will change in the future, and how farmers can manage their business in these increasingly turbulent times.

Dr. Boehlje is involved in teaching, research and executive education in agricultural finance, farm and business strategy and management and structural change in the agricultural industries. The major theme of his work is the importance of strategic planning and thinking, and positioning the firm for long-term success in a turbulent business climate. Don't miss this educational event!
