— MARKET OUTLOOK CONFERENCE
FEBRUARY 22, 2006 GREENWOOD, MISSISSIPPI
The MARKET OUTLOOK conference has been held in Memphis, TN or
Tunica, MS for the last seven years. This year we are bringing it
further south to
Greenwood, MS and offering a unique opportunity for producers. Our
outlook conference will be held on Wednesday and then the following
day, Thursday, the New York Board of Trade and Cotton Incorporated
will hold a seminar on the use of futures and options contracts to
hedge agricultural production.
It's not often that producers can go to one location and spend
two days gaining the information that will be presented by qualified
presenters as they will have the opportunity to hear at this outlook
conference and seminar. The information will be presented in
language that producers can understand and then take home and use in
their operation to generate a profitable year under not only adverse
but unusual pricing situations. Both the pricing of inputs and the
marketing of production will be addressed. Mark your calendars and
spend two productive days in Greenwood, MS learning about conditions
affecting your input costs and sale prices and the tools available
to help you guard against undesirable results.
