Purdue Farm Management Tour & Indiana Master Farmer Reception 2024
Learn about innovative farm management strategies, new technologies for improving efficiency and productivity, ways to ensure a successful transition of farm operations to the next generation at the 91st annual Purdue Farm Management Tour on July 17.
Purdue University’s Center for Commercial Agriculture and Purdue Extension sponsored the tour, which includes stops at two farm in Randolph county Indiana. Each tour included an interview session where farm operators provided an overview of their farms. Host farmers also shared successful farm management tips, discussed how the management of their operations is changing in response to the agricultural economy and evolving family circumstances, and shared reasons behind their recent innovations in production practices and adoption of new technology. This was a great opportunity for producers to ask questions and learn from the experiences of Indiana’s best farm business managers.
The Master Farmer program is a long-standing tradition in Indiana and honors individuals who have contributed heavily to Indiana agriculture and demonstrated success in farming efficiency, stewardship of natural resources and community service. A reception with a panel discussion was held in conjunction with the Tour to honor the 2024 Indiana Master Farmers.
The tour and reception were free and open to the public. The 2024 Purdue Farm Management Tour was held July 17 in Randolph County in east-central Indiana and the Master Farmer reception and panel discussion followed. – Find out more details under the Agenda tab above.
