Returning to the Farmers and Ranchers College for the 2011-12 season will be David Kohl, professor emeritus of Agricultural Finance and Small Business Management at Virginia Tech University.  A popular speaker in previous years, Kohl will give an interactive presentation on "Global Economic Impacts on the Farm and Ranch."

The workshop will be 1-4 p.m. Nov. 30 at the Bruning Opera House.

Kohl will address several topics, engaging farmers and ranchers in discussion along the way.

• What are the new mega trends impacting producers’ profitability and lifestyles?
• What will be the role of emerging nations?
• What will be the economic game changers?
• How can producers position themselves to capitalize on these trends?
• Do high farmland values represent a credit or asset bubble?
• Where is the economy heading?
