"Market volatility is always a challenge, but having a solid marketing plan, trusted information sources, and knowing your cost of inputs can help producers find opportunities amid uncertainty," says Peabody. As the industry awaits long-term trade agreements, Peabody remains optimistic: “America’s farmers have weathered the storm before and will get through it.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/gsKKdxra

The beef industry came together earlier this month in San Antonio for #CattleCon25, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association's premier annual event. As the largest gathering of cattle producers, industry leaders, and experts, CattleCon provides an opportunity to discuss challenges, innovations, and the future of cattle production. Capital Farm Credit was proud to be a part of the conversation - both on the trade show floor and behind the mic. Pat Shields and Casey Cook joined Anne Thompson, from Farm Credit Council, for a live recording of Cattlemen's Call to discuss what sets Farm Credit apart: deep agricultural expertise, strong relationships, and a commitment to helping producers navigate every season. Earlier in the event, Rod Alt participated in on of the event's Cattle Chats, where he shared insight into how producers can prepare for financial success, mitigate risk, and strengthen their operations. Events like CattleCon allow us to engage directly with cattle producers, industry experts, and vendors - building relationships, gaining firsthand insight into industry challenges, and sharing knowledge to help drive agriculture forward.
