“Our first Precision Agriculture Conference was a tremendous success,” says Farms.com Executive Vice President Joe Dales. “We welcomed close to 300 producers.” More than 90% of conference attendees said they were satisfied or very satisfied with the 2014 Conference.

“Our goal is to make this year’s Precision Agriculture Conference an even bigger success by ensuring we have great presentations for farmers to equip them with the tools they need to successfully navigate through the current volatility in agriculture prices,” affirms Dales.

Practical Pathways to Drive Real Results will include expert sessions on starting to manage farm data to make it work for you, case studies on agronomy research, and experienced precision farmers will share precision agriculture techniques that work.

The Farms.com Precision Agriculture Conference 2015 will showcase a balance between expert speakers -- agronomists, researchers and technology companies, as well as hands-on precision ag farmers who have seen how the precision agriculture data has had a positive impact on their farm, with documented real-farm results. A number of how-to sessions will also be featured.

Presenters from the following organizations are expected to share their precision agriculture knowledge: AGCO, BASF, Beck’s Hybrids, CaseIH, Dekalb, DuPont Pioneer, Farmobile Technology, OMAFRA, Precision Planting, Farm Credit Canada, Trimble Agriculture, and many more.

The Conference will also include a tradeshow (limited number of booths) and networking event. The trade show will feature key precision agriculture vendors from Southwestern Ontario, as well as the United States.

The event is sponsored in part by the Agri-food Management Institute (AMI) through Growing Forward 2, a federal-territorial-provincial initiative. Farms.com would also like to thank the following sponsors: BASF, DuPont Pioneer, Farm Credit Canada, Hensall District Co-operative, Innovative Farmers Association of Ontario, and Trimble.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
75% of Tesla shareholders approved a $1 trillion pay package for Elon Musk!
It has rained in South America in the last 7 days, but both the American and European models agree that Central Brazil remains dry in the next 14-days!
