Compeer Financial to Host Resilient Farms Conference
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 11/14/2019

The Sun Prairie-based Compeer Financial is organizing its 2019 Resilient Farms Conference, a one day event for farmers interested in increasing resiliency for their operations through new business ideas.

The forum takes place December 12 at the Kalahari Conference Center in Wisconsin Dells in partnership with University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension.

Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in more than two dozen sessions to gather information, resources and tools to help in exploring ideas for increased farm revenue and added flexibility. Additionally, more than 20 industry experts, including farmers who have successfully implemented alternative or additional enterprises, will be available for one-on-one consultations and networking.

"The program encourages farmers to look broadly at all of the assets on their farms and think creatively about ways in which they can use those assets to add cash flow," said Paul Dietmann, senior lending specialist at Compeer Financial. "The Resilient Farms Conference offers a positive, supportive environment to bounce around some ideas and get valuable feedback from people who have navigated challenging times and created success."

Breakout sessions will include topics on value-added dairy, income opportunities from the woods, resiliency in cash crops, leasing options, understanding an individual farm's unique assets and more. Additionally, sessions will be available for direct marketing, creating a practical commodity marketing plan, succession planning and basic farm financials.

Registration for the conference is $20, which includes lunch. To register or for more information, visit compeer.com/resilientfarms
