Four Resources for Agriculture in 2020 and Beyond

Four Resources for Agriculture in 2020 and Beyond

It is no secret that the events of 2020 have drastically impacted every single industry – and agriculture is no exception. As companies and individuals have moved past the initial shock of changes, moving forward, it is important to still take advantage of various opportunities to connect with others in your industry and beyond. 

And since more than half of the agriculture operations in the U.S. are represented by small to medium-sized farms, it is essential that the agricultural community band together to learn, grow, and make it through these tough times.

Below, we have compiled four key resources for agricultural professionals to strengthen their Professional Relationships, Technology Education, Creativity, and Supply Chain.

For almost 60 years, the annual Farm Science Review has brought together nearly 100,000 individuals from every facet of the agriculture industry. While this will be the first time in the event’s history that it will be held online, we are confident that the presentations and conversations will still be fruitful for the attendees. 

This free virtual event will take place from September 22 – 24 and will highlight industry expert interviews, COVID-19 safety protocol presentations, budding technology presentations, and more. 

The review is still being planned at this point, but attendees can check back to their website often to see the building lineup of educational opportunities.

You can learn more about virtually attending the review here.

Zach Johnson is a 5th generation farmer from Minnesota. On his channel, he focuses on agriculture education for current farmers and the next generation, sharing what he has learned over the years, and exploring other farmers’ operations.
