Make your plans now to attend Informa Economics 8th Annual Feed Industry Ingredients Outlook Symposium. Attendees will get an insight into the supply/demand and external factors that will affect prices of the feed ingredient markets for the upcoming 2010/11 crop year. Immediately following the Feed Symposium, Informa will present a Macroeconomics Seminar, designed to give participants an understanding of how macroeconomic factors such as inflation, budget deficits and exchange rates affect commodity prices.

Informa's industry experts will cover a wide array of topics, including changes in commodity markets, issues in energy markets, politics, the economy and more. We will discuss the implications of the 2010 elections that are likely to influence markets, as well as US grain and oilseed production and trade implications.  

And you definitely won't want to miss our special guest speaker on the afternoon of August 23rd, Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin C. Peterson, MN-7!

In addition to detailed analysis and outlooks for the grain and oilseed sectors, Informa will give insight into expected changes in the livestock, poultry and dairy industries for the remainder of 2010 and 2011, all of which will influence feed markets. Each of these markets will be covered, including projections for production, demand, new emerging issues and the profitability outlook of each sector.

Following the Symposium, Informa will present a seminar entitled "Macroeconomics and Your Business." Featuring Informa Chairman of the Board and CEO, Dr. Bruce A. Scherr, topics will center on the US and global economy and key macroeconomic indicators that will affect agricultural markets. We will also discuss government policy and its implications for commodity prices. You won't want to miss this opportunity!

On Sunday, there is a golf outing at Summit Golf Club for those of you who arrive early. This will afford you the opportunity to have a little fun with other attendees and industry colleagues. Dinner and prizes will follow. Be sure to sign up on the registration form.
