The 20th Annual Farmer Cooperatives Conference will bring together farmer cooperative leaders in St. Paul, Minnesota from November 1-3, 2017 for education and networking. Attendees will spend two days with top agricultural cooperative leadership as they address today’s most pressing competitive challenges. Cooperative experts will present their latest research and cooperative leaders will leave with new strategies and techniques to improve their farmer-owned cooperative.
The Farmer Cooperatives Conference is a national event highlighting the latest strategic thinking on current cooperative issues and trends. It provides a forum for cooperative directors, managers and those doing business with agricultural cooperatives to learn and exchange ideas with policy, research and legal experts about issues currently affecting the agricultural cooperative community.
Organized by the University of Wisconsin Center for Cooperatives, the program is developed by a national planning committee with diverse backgrounds and expertise from the cooperative, agribusiness and academic sectors.
