The Utah Bankers Association held its annual Ag Outlook & Conference at the Hyatt Place in Provo on Feb. 25-26, bringing together bankers, agribusiness professionals and economic experts to discuss the latest trends shaping agricultural finance.

The conference featured engaging discussions on economic conditions, agricultural policy, producer-driven efficiency and technological advancements, while experts from Utah State University shared forecasts for the year ahead in cattle, dairy, grain and more.

Attendees also had the opportunity to tour agricultural operations in the area, including fruit growers, a cattle ranch and an equipment supplier, seeing firsthand the challenges and opportunities in modern farming.

The event — which is the UBA’s longest-running event — continues to underscore the vital connection between banking and agriculture and equips financial professionals with valuable insights to support their agribusiness clients year after year.
