Over 100 Farmers & Business Leaders Gather To Discuss Agriculture
FEBRUARY 2014, FRUITLAND, MD- Ben Alder, Senior Advisor with Sperry Van Ness – Miller Commercial Real Estate in Salisbury, MD recently hosted the 2014 Agricultural Forum at Black Diamond Lodge in Fruitland, MD. The event was focused on providing useful information to over 100 local farmers and agricultural producers regarding economics, land use and the agricultural market. John Ade, the Senior Vice President of North American Grain for Perdue Agribusiness was on hand to open the event.
Several of the event sponsors hosted breakout sessions during the forum. Nationwide Agribusiness led a session on Estate Planning, Miles & Stockbridge presented information about Land Use Laws and Regulations, Mike Twining of Willard Agri-Service spoke about Farm Profitability, and Paradise Energy and Hoober/Case IH led a session on Farm Technology and the Environment. Dan Manternach, the Director of Operations for Doane Advisory Services gave the keynote speech focusing on a Global Look at Agricultural Markets & Delmarva.
I find it ironic that an individual associated with a real estate firm hosted an agricultural forum to assist farmers. Most farmers that I know are constantly barraged by realtors trying to buy their farms for housing developments.

ReplyDeleteGlad someone else picked up on that too. Nothing but greedy scumbags looking to turn a profit while destroying the landscape.
Oh yea like the farmers aren't waiting for another handout from anyone willing!
