Thanks for joining us at Ag Summit 2012.

Highlights for 2012 included:
Keynote Speaker Carl Casale, president and chief executive officer, CHS Casale’s vision on technology impressed attendees at our first Ag Summit. Now at the helm of a Fortune 100 company and the nation’s largest cooperative, he added his bird's-eye view of global grain markets, fertilizers and refined fuels. Shifts already underway in North America will influence your export competitiveness and input costs.

Windfalls from land appreciation and a bountiful farm economy have doubled many farmers’ net worths since 2007. That suddenly exposes more families to six-figure federal tax bills at death, on top of possible state taxes and severe liquidity issues for on-farm heirs. The course will develop estate and income tax case studies with broad application to farm families whose assets could approach $10 million per couple or $5 million for a single owner.
