The ever-present conflict in Europe and changes in geopolitical leadership and priorities often result in economics in extremes. We must also consider global weather patterns, uncertainty in trade and export markets as they create economic and financial ripples that will be observed throughout the decade. On the flipside, global trade, consumer behaviors, supply and marketing chains, and other disruptors are also presenting opportunities in the agricultural lending marketplace.
This program will discuss the aforementioned global and domestic factors’ impact on the agriculture industry and ag lending or what got us here. Dr. Kohl’s work as an academic, speaker, writer, business owner, and coach will provide wisdom and perspectives in an economic environment where uncertainty and opportunity coexist in the decade of the 2020s. Get ready for an action-packed session that will provide some answers to what will get us there in the agricultural lending marketplace
