Ag Outlook Forum Registration Currently Open

USDA is getting geared up for the 102nd annual Agricultural Outlook Forum coming up next month. 

World Agricultural Outlook Board Chair Mark Jekanowski said registration is already open.

“This year, the event itself is live in person at the Crystal City Gateway Marriott in Arlington, VA. But every session will be live streamed. If you can't make it into D.C., you can still take in the full content of the program every session.”

This Year's Forum Will Cover A Wide Variety Of Topics

The February 19th-20th event includes programs such as the Ag Economic Outlook from new Chief Economist Justin Benavidez, sessions focused on the Administration's Ag trade trade agenda, and more.

“We have a full slate of breakout sessions that are coming together covering all of the standard topics like farm income, food prices," Jekanowski said.  "We're going to have a session this year on biofuels. We'll have a session on farm security and national security as one of the breakout sessions. Some topics on innovations in ag production and all of the standard commodity outlook sessions that we always include and looking forward to the commodity outlook for the new crop year.”
