This program is sponsored by German American and lunch will be provided. The program is free to the public and is designed to help farmers, landown- ers, and agribusiness man- agers make better busi- ness decisions in the com- ing year. The program will be presented by Chris Hurt an Agricultural Economist from Purdue. Where is U.S. agricul- ture headed in 2018? Will low crop prices finally "turn the corner" and begin to re- cover, or are we locked in a period of low-for-long? Indiana's crops had a rugged start last spring but most regions recovered. This program will discuss the latest local and national USDA yield estimates along with price prospects and po- tential marketing strategies for corn and soybeans. Crop farmers have been facing weak margins since 2014. Are profit prospects for the 2017 crops going to improve? Early income pros- pects for the 2018 and 2019 crops will be discussed as well. Farmers have been try- ing to push costs per bushel lower. How much progress have they made and what are the prospects for lower input costs in 2018? How can crop farmers adjust to tighter, or even negative margins? How will acreage shift among corn, soybeans, and wheat in 2018. What farm and agribusiness manage- ment strategies will work best in the current econom- ic environment? A new Farm Bill is expect- ed in 2018. What are some of the early prospects for that legislation? The animal in- dustries continue to expand with lower feed prices. Will larger production mean low- er animal product prices and margins in 2018? What about land values and cash rents? How much did they change in 2017 and what might be the direction for 2018 and beyond? Are land values and rents going to adjust a little bit more, or a lot more? What will be the drivers to watch? Those wishing to attend should RSVP by November 17. Contact Joe Dickson, Josh Stolz or Kathy Pell at German American at 812- 354-8471 or Lisa Clark at Purdue Extension at 812- 354-6838 to RSVP or for fur- ther information.
