FCS Financial will host its annual Connect Ag Seminar on Wednesday, December 9, 2026, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Milestones Barn in Warrensburg, Missouri. Designed specifically for young and beginning Missouri producers, the daylong event aims to equip agricultural operations with practical tools, knowledge, and strategies for the year ahead.
The seminar brings together industry experts, local producers, and the FCS Financial team to deliver actionable economic perspectives, technological insights, and valuable peer networking. Complimentary light refreshments and lunch will be provided.
Chad Colby, founder of Colby AgTech, will lead a session titled "AI in Agriculture: What’s Real, What’s Hype, What Works." Colby will offer a practical, field-tested look at how artificial intelligence, drones, mapping, and automation are currently being applied in everyday farm operations to boost efficiency and drive return on investment.
Building on the technology theme, a Missouri producer panel will feature local farmers sharing firsthand accounts of using technology and data across row crop and livestock operations.
Dr. Matt Roberts, founder of The Kernmantle Group and a nationally recognized expert on grain and energy markets, will present "Surviving and Thriving in an Ever More Volatile World." Dr. Roberts will break down market dynamics, inflation, and historical price cycles to help producers build more resilient and profitable agribusinesses.
Space is limited, and registration is required. Producers can register for the Connect Ag Seminar online at www.myfcsfinancial.com or by calling their local FCS Financial branch office at (800) 444-3276.
