The Agricultural Excellence Conference is set for November 22-24 in Calgary. It is a one-of-a-kind agricultural business management event that brings together a diverse cross-section of industry experts and stakeholders. “As a supporting partner, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) encourages all farm business managers to attend this great event,” says Rick Dehod, agriculture farm financial specialist with AF.
This year’s theme “Plan and Prosper: Set the Course for Farm Success” focuses on planning as an essential element to farm business management. Conference participants will explore beneficial farm management practices, advice, and insight with leading farm business thinkers.
