A week of energy, of ideas, of problems, of the future. Last week three major things stood out to me pointing to a brighter future! 1. There are many problems worth solving in agriculture. At #cultivate '24, David Black from CHS Inc. talked about the evolving challenges we are facing in agriculture. Many of these challenges were value-chain spanning, requiring coordination and collaboration across the entire ecosystem. 2. These problems can't be solved alone. Like being set up with a layup to spike the ball, Mark Jensen with Farm Credit Services of America then talked about the history of solving challenges within FCS-A and how a collaborative and customer-centered approach to innovation is needed to solve the complex problems of today. 3. Our trajectory is defined by our ability to collaborate. Mary Snapp with Microsoft, Barry Batcheller, and Howard Dahl with FarmQA, Inc closed out the conference with a positive outlook on the future. A future of collaboration. A future where the younger generation gets excited about agriculture and counts themselves in. How are you counting yourselves in to solving challenges in #agriculture together? I look forward to continue finding ways to connect with all of you as we look at a brighter future!

I also think we need to focus on getting more diversity in Ag leadership. Too long has the voices of few dominated the many. With greater diversity comes greater innovation. We need to bring Ag together instead of trying so desperately to keep our segments apart.

Last week was my first time in the Fargo/Morehead area, but I'm already looking forward to next year in the same way I'm looking forward to witnessing the future of agriculture

Yes! A future of collaboration is a must moving forward.
