The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago announces its annual Agricultural Conference will be held at its offices on November 29.
The forum will be a hybrid event to examine the barriers to entry into Midwest farming, as well as some of the issues facing farm family transitions between generations.
"During this challenging time for agriculture, new technologies provide a vital avenue for farm operations to improve their competitive advantages, especially in light of the strained environment for trade," said Reserve Economist and Conference Organizer David Oppedahl.
Attendees will hear from experts from academia, financial services, industry and policy institutions explore how technology is transforming agriculture and how it will be funded.
Educational topics will include: challenges of farmland access in the Midwest; barriers facing beginning, limited-resource, minority, and women farmers; and access to financial capital for farming entrants.
