Sales and service representatives, you’re invited to the 2025 Animal Agriculture Industry Breakfast! Enjoy breakfast and learn more about how to break into those conversations with your farm customers and clients. Whether it’s related to a business transaction, about implementing biosecurity planning, or a more difficult conversation about transition, farm safety or mental health, the path to deeper, more effective conversations with your farm clients can sometimes seem a little rocky and uphill. Get ideas and learn about resources available to help bridge those connections, so you can form stronger relationships that benefit both you and your clients.
The Animal Agriculture Industry Breakfast will be held on Wednesday, August 13, 2025 from 7-9 a.m. in the Special Events Building at Ag Progress Days. Sales and service professionals working in the animal ag industry are invited to join us for breakfast and learn about the art of conversation and resources available to help. Resource bags filled with resources for sales/service professionals will be given to the first 100 people who arrive at the event on August 13th.
The breakfast is free, but pre-registration is required. Click here to RSVP using the form below, or call 717-346-0849.
