It’s 106 days until the 2024 USA Rice Outlook Conference (December 8-10) opens here and as always, the educational programming is going to be top notch.
“We follow what we call ‘the Richard Fontenot Principle,’” said Michael Klein, USA Rice vice president of communications & strategic development. “Richard once told me that if we don’t provide practical programming that growers can take back to their operations and put to use, it’s going to be a difficult proposition to get them to leave the farm to join us.”
