We are pleased to announce Dr. J.B. Penn, chief economist, Deere & Company, as the featured speaker for the Council’s November 6 breakfast meeting at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kansas City.

 

Dr. Penn is a well-known national agricultural figure and one of the nation’s preeminent agricultural economists.  At John Deere, he is responsible for analyzing global macro-economic, policy, and trade developments to help the company achieve sustainable, strong business results.  Prior to joining Deere & Company in 2006, Penn served as USDA Under Secretary for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services since 2001.  During his time at USDA, he was a key agricultural negotiator in the Doha round of World Trade Organization negotiations.

 

Prior to joining USDA, Dr. Penn was senior vice president and manager of Sparks Companies’ (now Informa Economics) Washington, DC, office for over a dozen years.

 

As is the Council’s tradition, this November meeting is being held in conjunction with the annual leader conference hosted by the Agricultural Future of America (AFA).  This outstanding event, now in its 13th year, attracts over 500 of the nation’s top college-age agricultural leaders from 30 states and 70 colleges and universities.

 

We are also pleased to welcome MoKan NAMA as a co-host for this November 6 meeting.
