Farmer to Farmer

I’ve recently met up with several producers attending Commodity Classic. They’re here to talk to fellow farmers about their successes with next generation seeds, including Round Up Ready 2 Yield and Vistive.

This means they’ll be at the trade show throughout the conference to provide their experience with the products. Basically it’s a pretty good idea…having farmers talk to farmers!

On the right is Jim Berg, of Wapakoneta, Ohio. He farms with his brother and says he wants to tell other farmers about his successes with Vistive beans.

Jim is an Ohio native, but he told me about the opportunities he's had within agriculture. Very impressive if I may say so myself! He's traveled internationally with the U.S. Grains Council and the National Corn Growers Association.

Now, along with farming, he owns a commodity brokerage. He's kept busy with activities, which has proven another point for the day: agriculture doesn't sleep!
