DTN/The Progressive Farmer 2008 Ag Summit

EARLY BIRD DEADLINE EXTENDED.
Due to late harvest and unfavorable weather conditions, producers requested an extension to the current early bird registration. As such, DTN has worked with the Marriott in Chicago and extended the early bird registration ($395) as well as the group room rate of ($179) to November 26. We sincerely hope this extension affords you the opportunity to take advantage of the 2008 Ag Summit.

Standard guides don't apply to today's volatile commodity markets: Prices are shattering old records, but no longer does the government safety net cover your costs should prices plunge.

Fear of margin calls means many elevators hesitate to offer forward cash contracts much beyond harvest. Meanwhile, input inflation, particularly in fertilizer, energy prices and cash rents is escalating cost of production at the fastest pace since the 1970s.

Operators who succeed in this climate will need sharper business skills, the confidence of their country bankers, as well as adequate revenue protection.

So tap DTN’s marketing and management expertise to help you map your strategy for profit in 2009.
