Purdue Extension to host ‘Strategic Marketing for Your Farm’s Future’
Agricultural producers looking to develop their marketing skills are encouraged to join Purdue Extension this winter for the “Strategic Marketing for Your Farm’s Future” program series.
This five-session series will be delivered virtually on Thursday evenings from 7-8 p.m. beginning Feb. 3 and ending March 3.
“Strategic Marketing for Your Farm’s Future” will empower producers to make commodity marketing decisions for their farming operation and communicate those decisions to the farm management team, key financial advisors and family.

• Crop marketing strategies;
• Tools available to assist with marketing;
• Technical analysis of grain markets;
• Diversification into niche markets;
• How to communicate decisions; and
• Tools to address stress associated with marketing highs and lows.
