2018 National Farmer Cooperatives Conference

Leaders and staff of farmer-owned cooperatives across the United States met in St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 7-8, 2018, for the Farmer Cooperatives Conference. Program topics included strategies to leverage sustainability initiatives, trade relations and U.S. agriculture, strategic growth options, succession planning and talent retention.

The conference, which is unique in its focus on farmer-owned cooperatives, was coordinated by the University of Wisconsin Center for Cooperatives as part of its program to build future cooperative leaders. Program details and registration information, as well as information on programs from previous years, are available at www.farmercoops.uwcc.wisc.edu.

Farm Foundation has been a partner in the conference since it was initiated 21 years ago.
