As you know from working in the agricultural community, change is in the air. Since 2010, we have experienced unprecedented income and opportunities and now, the subsequent decline in the agricultural economy due to lower commodity prices. In addition, we are facing a generational change of the aging population who operates the farm and/or owns the land. For professionals who work in the ag industry, a few key questions come to mind:
What is the outlook for agriculture in 2016?
What are the greatest challenges facing your clients and customers due to lower commodity prices and an aging population of farmers?
