Farm Management PFT Retreat and Professional Development Conference

Submitted by Mykel Taylor and Matt Young

Mark your calendars for May 7 and 8, 2018 at the YMCA camp in Elmdale, KS for the Farm Management PFT spring meeting and professional development retreat! Since we have an extra $3,000 to spend this year, thanks to our recognition as Outstanding PFT at Annual Conference, the PFT leadership is currently working on an agenda and set of topics that brings in some big name speakers. You won’t want to miss it! The focus will be mental health in farmers, in-depth farm succession planning, and Ag Lending and farm financials in a down economy.

A formal agenda will come out at a later time, but plan to start at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, May 7, with a PFT Business meeting. All agents are then encouraged to join us for dinner at 5:30 p.m., with a program and social that evening. Tuesday will be a full day of professional development seminars. Farm Management PFT members will be free of charge to this event and other Extension agents will pay a small fee for lodging and meals.

Watch for more information coming soon, but please mark these dates on your calendar!
