Frequently Asked Questions About AMSGWhat is the Ag Marketing Strategy Group?It's a group of top ag producers who are interested in improving their marketing and management skills through a commitment to a year of small group meetings with a professional marketing analyst. We meet monthly, in most cases excluding October and May. Exact arrangements will be determined by each group at the first meeting, but the base concept is a 2-hour monthly meeting. The meeting includes an outlook and strategy planning session, an educational session on some aspect of farm marketing, and plenty of group interaction. In addition to "in person" meetings, we also now offer a monthly National Ag Marketing Strategy Group via the Internet, using Citrix GoToTraining technology. Life long learning is required to be sucessful in many fields, and agriculture is no exception. Who is the group leader?Alan Brugler, President of Brugler Marketing & Management LLC in Omaha.
