North Manakato -
Hundreds of farmers from across the area descended on lower North Mankato to gather intel on the upcoming growing season.
The Linder Farm Network hosted an Ag Outlook meeting on Thursday afternoon. The event is designed to provide farmers with the latest predictions involving weather, market values and land prices.
Organizers say today's information is critical when it comes to profiting in the field.
"Each one of these farmers is a small businessman," said Lynn Ketelsen of the Linder Farm Network. "In many cases they're bigger than the small-business man on Main Street."
The Linder Farm Network will be hosting a similar conference Friday in Owatonna at the Holiday Inn Conference Center.
