The program will begin at 10 a.m. with a look at 2015 production costs, break-even prices and the implications for land rental rates.

The session will include strategies and resources available to help with negotiating future rental rates and alternative rental agreements.

Managing input costs will be addressed, looking at the two types of cash inputs used in crop production.

The afternoon session will begin with a grain market outlook and marketing strategies to consider with today's low grain prices.
