One of the most enjoyable things about covering agriculture in the Upper Midwest is that there’s a cycle to it. No two years are ever close to the same — the variable weather and markets guarantee that — but there is a familiar pattern.
Plant in the spring and harvest in the fall (weather permitting, of course.) After harvest and before planting comes what’s sometimes referred to as “ag meeting season.” Not a week goes by in the cold-weather months that t least one area farm group or organization doesn’t host a meeting.
Agweek, of course, will be covering many of the upcoming meetings. We won’t be able to attend all of them, but we’ll make it to a lot. Please drop me a line if there’s anything particularly important or newsworthy about your event. I can’t promise to attend, but I do promise to listen carefully when you make your sales pitch.
