There’s still time to register for the Wisconsin Agricultural Outlook Forum. The Fabulous Farm Babe Pam Jahnke is this year’s emcee.
This year’s event, “Rural Livability in Wisconsin”, will include presentations from UW-Madison and Division of Extension experts on the status of Wisconsin’s farm economy, including the current situation and outlook for dairy, livestock and meat, specialty crops, and corn, as well as farm income.
The afternoon will focus on efforts to maintain, enhance, or revitalize rural life. The goal is for people to better understand the challenges facing rural Wisconsin communities and what our intellectual and public leaders are doing to help.
The registration fee of $50 covers the Forum, lunch, breaks, and reception. Online registration closes Jan. 19. If you cannot attend, you can watch the livestream at the Renk Agribusiness Institute YouTube page, no registration required.
Buy a reserved parking pass for the day of the Forum for $20. Order the parking pass by Jan. 12. Parking passes will not be mailed ahead of time but can be picked up on the morning of the Forum.
