ASFMRA: Professionals honored

The AgroNomics, Vision 3013 Ag Investment Conference & Trade Show held in conjunction with the 83rd annual meeting of ASFMRA drew more than 450 attendees to Indianapolis over Halloween week.

With an extensive program featuring more than 30 speakers and an enlarged industry trade show, the conference provided an informative, timely and highly relevant venue for anyone involved with agriculture.
