RRFN Special Coverage: USDA Ag Outlook Forum

The Red River Farm Network will broadcast from this week’s USDA Agricultural Outlook Forum. This is the premier annual event for the Agriculture Department and will attract 1,800 people. USDA Chief Economist Seth Meyer kicks off the program Thursday with the market and trade outlook. Thirty breakout sessions will consider everything from forecasts for all major commodities to issue-based updates on ag transportation and workforce issues. RRFN will be in Washington, D.C. ahead of the Outlook Forum for exclusive interviews with lawmakers on Capitol Hill. The trip also coincides with a Senate Agriculture Committee hearing and the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture Winter Policy Conference. RRFN’s coverage is sponsored by the Minnesota Corn Growers Association, Amity Technology, North Dakota Corn Growers Associaiton and AgCountry Farm Credit Services.
