The three webinars will start at 7 pm on each day and will go for approximately 2 hours and will cover such topics as:

Take the farm to your customer

The requests for category managers and other employees in retail to visit suppliers never ends. People are proud of what they do, and they want their customers to see their operation. When I was working in retail, we could never get to all of the farms.
