Scratch that.. We now have a sixth reason to attend this year's Ag Data Conference. The conference will now offer CEU credits during nine sessions of the conference. 

The CEU credits will be offered for Certified Crop Advisors, The Ag Data Conference will offer approved CEU credits during nine sessions. See our website’s Program page for details https://theagdataconference.com/program/ 

 

 

Right about the time turkey leftovers have run their course, it’s time to grab some farmer buddies, or a trusted farm advisor, and head to eastern Iowa. Why? Because Corn+Soybean Digest and Farm Futures brands have built a great 1.5-day lineup of data and technology sessions around our theme: “Practical data and technology for profitable decisions.” All presentations and farmer/advisor panels are designed to give you actionable take-home tips, as well as encouragement, to help make your ag data and precision technology pay.

 

So, what are the top 5 reasons to attend our second annual Ag Data Conference – held Wednesday, Nov. 29 and Thursday Nov. 30 at the Marriott Conference Center in Coralville, Iowa (next to Iowa City)?

1.      Our sessions are filled with real “boots on the ground” data-passionate advisors and farmers ready to share their successful experience and knowledge to help you sort through your data and technology challenges to achieve greater efficiency and profit.
