For the first time ever at NNTC, you’ll hear about the “future” of farming in this series of shorter, inspirational “Ted Talk” type presentations from some of the industry’s brightest minds! These are challenging times in agriculture, even for no-tillers who have carefully built their operations to be resilient and profitable. New technology advancements (robotics, sensors, biologicals, etc.) and mega trends (regenerative ag, organic) are challenging the decades-old status quo, leaving many growers looking for perspective and dialogue.

Sit back and get ready to reflect on where agriculture is headed with 4 dynamic speakers: Field to Market President Carrie Vollmer-Sanders, Iowa no-tiller James Hepp, Illinois no-tiller and regenerative ag tech advisor Monte Bottens (2024 NNTC Most Outstanding Speaker) and Modern Ag Alliance Executive Director Elizabeth Burns-Thompson.

You’ll Learn: How farmers are evolving their operations to meet the demands of a dynamic, ever-changing ag market.
