Event Description

Agri-food Management Institute offers course to strengthen communication skills among agribusiness owners and managers


Techniques to manage family-run businesses and build stakeholder relations key focus of program

The Agri-food Management Institute (AMI) will offer an interactive communications workshop in early 2015 for agricultural producers and food and beverage processors.

Challenge the Conversation 2.0 is a two-day course designed specifically to help agribusiness managers, particularly those who operate family businesses, become better bosses, business partners, spouses and parents.

"Agribusiness owners spend 60-80 per cent of their time in conversation with stakeholders," said AMI’s Executive Director Ryan Koeslag." Challenge the Conversation 2.0 will help agribusiness owners better manage relationships by having more productive interactions with employees, business partners, advisors, customers, and family members who have a role to play in the business."

The workshop is ideal for those who tend to avoid difficult conversations, spend a lot of time fixing misunderstandings, want to better deal with performance issues, motivate employees, and work in better partnership with employees and family members.

After completing Challenge the Conversation 2.0., agribusiness owners will understand the impact of conversation on performance and profitability, recognize their default communication style and know how to adapt to different situations, communicate clearly to reduce misunderstandings, and have strategies to deal with difficult and emotionally charged situations.

The course is offered in partnership with Juice Inc., and starts on January 27, 2015 at the Delta Hotel in Guelph. Part two of the course will be held February 24, 2015 at the same location. The cost of the course is $120.

What Separates the Top-Tier Pork Producers from the Rest?

Some would say the pork industry is on the other side of the biggest financial downturn the industry has seen for the last 30 years. Others say we are not quite there yet. In a Farm Credit peer benchmarking review, Chris Ford, vice president corporate swine lender with Farm Credit, looked back over the past several years to see what differentiated pork operations that have done well and those that have struggled. 1. Production is king. “Producers who have adhered to strong biosecurity measures, embraced technology and have taken a mindset of getting as much production out the door as possible have had as much success as anybody in this industry,” Ford says. 2. Good bookkeeping matters. “Those who have done a nice job with financial acumen and understanding where they’re at from a financial standpoint have survived this downturn,” Ford says. “As a lender, we see that every day. Those producers that keep good sets of books and understand their cost of production make the best decisions

3rd Annual BBQ & Brew at the Ballpark Raises $20,000 for Iowa Food Banks

Hundreds of Iowans gathered at Principal Park on June 21 for the third annual BBQ & Brew at the Ballpark, raising more than $20,000 to support food banks across the state. The family-friendly event was presented by the Iowa Pork Producers Association (IPPA) in partnership with the Iowa Cubs and Fareway Stores. “Events like BBQ & Brew show how strong our communities are when we come together for a common cause,” said Doug Gruver, IPPA board member and two-time event volunteer. “Giving back is at the heart of what we do as pork producers. Whether it’s raising food or raising funds, we’re proud to serve Iowans beyond the farm. This event is also a great opportunity to showcase the high-quality product we raise in Iowa and the incredible BBQ talent and passion of the teams who compete.” This year’s event featured 24 backyard barbecue teams competing for $12,000 in prize money across three pork categories: loin, ribs, and butt.
