The annual Dyson School Agricultural and Food Business Outlook Conference will be held on Wednesday, January 20th on the Cornell University campus in Ithaca, NY.
Looking ahead to 2016, Professor Steve Kyle will once again offer his insights on what's driving economic growth, fiscal and financial trends, and employment rates. Dr. Kyle's popular report sets the stage for anticipating consumer purchasing power, rising interest rates, changing exchange rates and other factors that define the backdrop for agricultural and food industries. This year we are adding a new feature where Dr. Jenny Ifft will be sharing her analyses of what's happening in the state and regional agricultural economy and highlight particular trends and issues that are shaping our region.
Every year the Outlook Conference sends participants home with fresh information on prices, production and market trends, and government programs affecting the diverse fruit, vegetable, wine and grape, and dairy sectors that make up so much of New York State agriculture. Highly respected Cornell experts in these fields, including Bradley Rickard, Tom Maloney, and Miguel Gomez will once again take the lead on this year's sessions on specialty crops. And, Dyson's Andrew Novakovic will work with University of Wisconsin dairy market analyst Mark Stephenson to see if dairy markets are ready to be revitalized in 2016.
