Frontier Farm Credit and Farm Credit Services of America (FCSAmerica) are co-sponsoring a webinar series, Two Economists and a Lender. Our August installment featured Agriculture Economic Insights (AEI) co-founders David Widmar and Brent Gloy and Shannon Heinert, financial officer. The webinar recording from August 20 is available.
