Farmers
Reach for New Limits With the Commodity Classic Experience
ST. LOUIS (December 8, 2004)
-- The Commodity Classic experience will provide corn and soybean farmers
with an opportunity to “reach for new limits,” in Austin,
Texas, Feb. 24-26, 2005. Commodity Classic is an annual event that makes
it possible for growers to reap the benefits of top-notch educational
seminars and a highly praised trade show. The Commodity Classic experience
offers lasting benefits for a farmer’s business operation and
bottom line.
Commodity Classic is the
convention and trade show presented by the American Soybean Association
(ASA) and the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA).
NCGA President Leon Corzine
said, “Commodity Classic is unmatched in its educational offerings.
With workshops where growers can earn CEU credits and one of agriculture’s
best trade shows, you can expect to take away a wealth of information
that can help you be more profitable in your farming operation.”
“Commodity Classic
is an opportunity for farmers to learn from industry experts, ask questions,
see new technology and products, and network with other growers from
around the country,” said Neal Bredehoeft, ASA President. “It’s
an experience that’s well worth the time and investment.”
In addition to the seminars
and trade show, the Commodity Classic General Session will feature a
panel of experts in a discussion titled, “Growing America’s
Future.” The General Session also includes a presentation by Olympic
skier and motivational speaker Vince Poscente.
The 2005 Commodity Classic
will wrap up on Feb. 26, with an “Evening of Entertainment”
featuring the well-known and award-winning country music group Restless
Heart.
