Jason and the team at Northstar Commodity, alongside Minnwest Bank, hosted an ag marketing seminar this past month in Morton, MN where we heard from their Managing Director on relevant market insights, as well as the current grain and livestock global economy.
In speaking with Dan Koster, Ag Division Manager for Minnwest Bank, on why Minnwest continues to invest in events like this, “our goal with these events is to provide relevant ag content and financial resources to farmers. We want to provide them with supporting tools to help them navigate the intricacies of their farming operations and the unique challenges faced in the agricultural sector. “
As a follow up to the event, Northstar and Minnwest Bank are providing customers, and members of the ag community an opportunity to view the insights shared during this hosted seminar.
