The holiday season often leaves us short on time, but we hope you’ll have the time to devote to December’s Farm Office Live webinar this Friday, December 12 at 10 a.m.  The agenda includes two special guests:  Joshua Strine with Purdue’s Center for Commercial Agriculture, who will explain Purdue’s web-based Crop Basis Tool that provides access to corn and soybean basis data for local market regions in the eastern corn belt and Dr. Robert Mullen with Heritage Cooperative, who’ll share his knowledge of fertilizer market information and prices.  The Farm Office's Peggy Hall and Barry Ward  will also cover legislative and tax updates, and the Farm Office team will overview upcoming winter programs you won’t want to miss.
