The ASAC Education Committee offers "Shop Talk" discussions for our members to network and discuss top topics in the agricultural consulting industry.

Shop Talk discussions are free to all ASAC members. Most are recorded for access later, on-demand, by members.

How Ag Consultants Can Best Position as Trusted Advisors with Clients Using Farm Management Software Platforms

11 a.m. CDT, Wednesday, September 27 

Round Table Discussion

If you have attended any recent farm show (e.g.: National Farm Machinery Show, Mid-South Farm & Gin Show, Farm Progress Show, World Ag Expo. . . ) you are well aware there is a plethora of ag software currently marketed. Many (most ?) are focused on specific farm management tasks. However, there are a few Farm Management Software Platforms striving to Integrate data flows/information from multiple sources in providing farm managers/management teams with more comprehensive business views. 

The resulting "data overload" offers potential opportunities for Ag Consultants as Trusted Advisors - - organizing, compiling, and reporting this amalgamation of data into Management Actionable Intelligence (MAI). Interpretation of and advising from this MAI obviously results as well.  

How can you best position you/your firm to take advantage? Do you feel you are unaware of all the available strategies and techniques?

Norm Brown (President of FBS Systems and an ASAC member) will facilitate the discussion on this very important topic.

Compile your notes, thoughts and questions. We look forward to your active participation for true "Peer Learning".  

Although there is no charge for the event - for security purposes - we are requiring registration. REGISTER HERE

Remember to invite a non-ASAC consultant! 

We look forward to your participation.
