This group is designed for commodity grain and livestock producers of any size and the agricultural professionals that support them.
The group allows farmers to share and discuss marketing ideas and strategies, with sessions focused on marketing methods, tools, issues, conditions and trends. The sessions include formal teaching with research-based materials from the University of Minnesota and other credible sources, along with discussions facilitated by regional Extension educators.
Each group formulates a pre-harvest and post-harvest marketing plan that is used to benchmark individual marketing performance. The group meets monthly and typically consists of 10 to 20 member farms.
Slayton offers two groups on the 1st Tuesday of the month.
- Slayton morning group: 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
- Slayton afternoon group: 2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
