Rural Crime Prevention, clubroot, and your farm’s financial future are some of the topics covered at this Thursday's Farm Outlook 2019.
Jim Kaleta says they are bringing something for everyone including farm management, agronomics, and information about where commodity prices are heading.
“I think when we sat down as a committee talking about issues that have been going on out in the rural areas there wasn’t just the marketing side and everything else. We kind of looked at the things that affect us day to day.” Kaleta continues, “There has been a noticeable increase in some crime and issues that have happened on farms. Farms have gotten larger and stuff is scattered around a little more.”
Neil Townsend, the Senior Market Analyst with Farm Link Solutions, is giving the 2019 Market Outlook.
“I think the one biggest thing that we do try to say out there, we do provide unbiased information to the grower,” said Kaleta. “We’re not personally selling them anything. We’ve tried to avoid having people that, we’ll call it commercial interests, giving the presentations.”
“So we try to get it right from the actual research people.”
The Dauphin Ag Society is holding their annual event on Thursday. It starts at 8:30 and runs until 4:30 in the Aspen Lodge at the Parkland Recreation Complex.
Tickets for the event cost $20 each and can be picked up at the door.
