Coming soon!
2003 Commodity Classic
The 2002 Commodity Classic drew nearly 4,000 people, attracting
more growers than ever before to the convention held at the Nashville
Convention Center. The 2003 event promises to be even better!
Thousands of the most progressive farmers and industry representatives
in America will attend the eighth annual Commodity Classic, the
combined convention and trade show of the American Soybean Association
(ASA) and the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA). The 2003
event will be held February 27-March 1, 2003 at the Charlotte
Convention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Both organizations will hold separate policy-making sessions on the
major business and farm policy issues that affect America’s corn
and soybean farmers. They’ll also share an extensive array of seminars
and workshops on new technology and management. Plus, there’s a
trade show with more than 150 exhibitors.
Members of the ASA and NGCA....watch for your 2003 Commodity Classic

Demographics of growers attending the 2002 Commodity
Classic who completed a registration form:
Average total acres 1,812
Average corn acres 759
Average soybean acres 784
Average age 53
Demographics such as these are important, not
only to the farmers who attend the Classic – but to the soybean
and corn industries in general. With this valuable information
that describes the caliber of farmers attending the Classic, agribusinesses
are encouraged to exhibit the latest in tech-
nology and innovations in agriculture, plus provide seminars with
information that will meet the needs of all the attendees. And,
the associations make use of these demographic statistics when
inviting legislators to attend or speak at the convention, bringing
high-level information regarding important legislative and regulatory
issues facing agriculture.
That’s why New Holland supports the ASA and
NCGA in gathering this essential information. New Holland donates
a lawn and garden tractor as the prize in a drawing exclusively
for producers who take the time to fill out the optional demographic
information on their registration form for the Commodity Classic.
