The Ag Market Network, the popular marketing information tool for cotton producers has moved into cyberspace. The monthly conference call was created in 1998 as a joint venture of state extension services to furnish cotton producers an improved flow of marketing information following the monthly US production reports and World Agricultural Supply/Demand Estimates.
The conference call format used since inception previously required producers to gather either at marketing clubs, extension service, county agent or gin offices to hear opinions and/or latest views from well known cotton merchants or analysts. However, producers world wide have easy access.
"However some very positive changes are afoot to allow producers even greater access to pertinent and timely information to aid in their marketing decisions", according to Pat McClatchy, host of the monthly presentation. Special arrangements have now been made with KFLP 900 am - All Ag All Day, to broadcast live over much of the Texas high plains. Producers can now listen live in their pickups or from their laptop rather than at a conference table" McClatchy added.
The next Ag Market Network conference call will be Tuesday, March 13 at 7:30 am (CDT) featuring Jarral Neeper, VP Calcot, Ltd along with a cotton panel comprised of well known analysts, Dr. O.A. Cleveland, Dr. Carl Anderson and Mike Stevens.
Listeners now have the option of participating at their marketing clubs, extension service offices or listening over the radio or internet. An 800 number is always provided for listeners to ask questions concerning marketing strategies or market opinions.
