THANK YOU TO OUR
SPONSOR
Farmer Mac
The Northeast Agribusiness Seminar is an annual agricultural and economic
symposium that focuses on current issues related to agricultural banking,
agribusiness, farm management and rural businesses. The program is
developed by NYBA’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee in cooperation
with the Cornell University Dyson School of Applied Economics & Management
and the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station. The seminar presents
a great opportunity for informal discussion with lenders and agribusiness
representatives from across the state. This year’s session will offer a special
focus on the important linkage between agriculture and state economic
development, and what this means for your communities and farm customers.
Audience
The seminar should be of special interest to agricultural lenders and other
senior officers and directors of banks engaged in agricultural lines of business
or located in agricultural communities. Representatives from the Farm Service
Agency and other agribusiness and agricultural credit entities are encouraged
to attend.
