Many farmers place most of their attention in increasing production and minimizing costs, and my job is to move commodity marketing up on their priority list. We have 11 marketing groups in Northwest MN right now, and we're planning to add additional groups very soon. The marketing groups typically have 15-20 members that meet every other week as a group to discuss the markets. Individual instruction is an integral part of the program. The instructors do not provide advice, but instead help farmers see alternatives and better understand the tools necessary to market their commodities.

If you would like more information about the groups please use the e-mail link above to contact Betsy.
