Southwest Marketing Network (SWMN – Santa Fe, NM – www.swmarketingnetwork.org; another productive ag conference for small to mid-size farmers and ranchers (and food processors and distributors) on June 29-30. This conference will be conveniently held at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, Utah. We are going to stress farm to institution marketing ideas and strategies for our producers so they can learn how better to approach and do business with institutional food buyers in their region. We will talk about aggregating producers and products for greater marketing power. We will talk about the importance of understanding institutional food buyer’s needs. We will hear from the USDA, the FSA and ag lenders, in detail, about their beneficial grant and loan programs. We will also spend time on how to develop policies and practices that are more beneficial to small to mid-size producers. Helping create a culture of “Buying Local” helps create greater profitability and sustainability for our great local and regional producers. It’s simple to register online with a credit card (http://wrdc.usu.edu/htm/programs/swmn-2010
