ALBUQUERQUE
– Do you have a passion for agriculture and a desire to learn about the
different opportunities the industry has to offer? The New Mexico Department of
Agriculture and a dozen other New Mexico agencies and agriculture organizations
are hosting the 2020 AgriFuture Educational Institute – an event aimed to
connect, inform and inspire the next generation of farmers, ranchers and all
people involved in agriculture.
AgriFuture
is May 18 to May 20 in Albuquerque at Embassy Suites. With over 150 attendees
expected, the conference will feature a farm-to-table opening reception,
breakout sessions, educational agricultural speakers, dinner with mentors,
networking opportunities and more.
The event is
geared toward anyone 18 to 40 years of age but is open to anyone older or
younger who is interested in being a part of the future of agriculture. Current
producers of any age are highly encouraged to join alongside future producers
to learn and share insights. Veterans of the armed forces are encouraged to attend.
“AgriFuture
provides an incredible opportunity for ag producers and future ag producers to
connect cross-generationally and explore new opportunities within our state’s
agriculture industry,” New Mexico Secretary of Agriculture Jeff Witte said. “I
encourage everyone interested in ag production, including next-generation
agriculturists and returning military veterans who are looking to return to the
land, to attend this year’s AgriFuture event.”
Future ag
producers may attend AgriFuture for just $50, which includes a two-night hotel
stay. Current ag producers and mentors may attend for $100, which does
not include hotel expenses. Current producers/mentors can make reservations
directly with Embassy Suites using code AGF for a special rate.
