This Year’s Risk and Profit Conference to Focus on Drought

The annual Risk and Profit Conference is scheduled for Aug. 20-21, 2015, at the K-State Alumni Center.  The focus of the conference will be drought and water.

One of the featured speakers is Elwynn Taylor, a professor from Iowa State University. Taylor specializes in Ag Meteorology with a vision of mega-trends in technology, climate and society that opens the horizons of our enigmatic world. His extensive knowledge and understanding of the world around us enlightens and entertains. His insightful presentations are immediately useful in the management of business and life.  Few can explain the complexities of our world in a manner as clear, concise, and pleasant, as does Taylor, who received his doctorate in Biology from Washington University in St. Louis. Scholars internationally recognize his expertise in interactions of the biological and physical environment.

Further conference details and registration information will be announced later this spring.  Check the AgManager.info website for those details and other extension events.  Rich Llewelyn is also available to contact at 785-532-1504 or rvl@ksu.edu.
