Prior to the start of the NAMA Fall Conference in Chicago, IL, NAFB had the opportunity to host 90 plus leading agribusiness marketers for a pre-conference lunch, Tuesday, September 16. Past NAFB member and broadcaster, Jay Truitt of Policy Solutions Motley-Scher-Truitt provided insight into what is happening in Washington DC, and how the election could impact U.S. agriculture. During his presentation he commented on how the population shift from rural to metropolitan areas has impacted the affect rural America has politics. Jay sent the agribusiness leaders off with a little political insight and humor to start NAMA Fall Conference 2014. We also had the opportunity to promote the NAFB Planner, and the recent Ag Media Research findings.
