What you can expect.
You’ll be able to see the industry in action at the Ag Tour prior to the Boot Camp, hosted by the MoKan NAMA Chapter. In addition, you’ll participate in panel discussions which include producers in the ag industry as well as what to expect from clients and agencies. Ever wonder what it’s like to be a producer? Join us for an inside look at a year in the life of a livestock or crop producer.

And don’t forget the networking! We’ve got plenty of chances for you to connect with your peers at the Boot Camp.

As an added bonus, all attendees will receive a notebook packed with ag terminology and facts as well as case studies and speaker presentations.

Whether you’re new to the industry or a seasoned veteran, the NAMA Boot Camp will give you the tools you need to more professionally market to the agricultural industry.
