This July, the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers will hold its annual Education Week once again. The event, which was moved to a virtual format last year due to restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic, will take place in La Vista, Neb., just outside of Omaha.
As in past years, Education Week will feature qualifying education for rural appraisers, including Sales Comparison Approach and Integrated Approaches to Value. In addition, land professionals seeking professional designations will gather in Omaha to take key courses and exams that guide them one step closer to becoming Accredited Rural Appraisers and Accredited Farm Managers.
ASFMRA accredited members lead today’s agribusiness by meeting the complex needs of agriculture’s changing environment.
ASFMRA professionals offer expertise in biotechnology, environmental issues, changing technology, land, property, business valuation, market trends, and governmental involvement and regulations. To earn accreditation, rigorous education and continuing education requirements must be met, and extensive practical experience in the profession must be demonstrated.
Speaking of continuing education, the ASFMRA’s Education Week will include three unique seminars specific to the rural land appraisal profession, including “Alternative Investments: Agriculture as an Asset,” “Valuation of Lifestyle and Trophy Properties,” and “Practical Applications of the Equivalency Ratio.”
Finally, farm managers, agricultural consultants, and truly any with a passion for ag land and agronomy will not want to miss two exclusive events, each to be held on the same day. On the morning of July 20, those who attend or participate in land auctions will enjoy taking part in a special Ringman Training session. Later, managers will have the opportunity to tour Midwest Laboratories, one of the largest soil labs in the country.
While the entire event takes place over the course of two weeks, key dates features seminars and networking opportunities will be held from July 18-21 at the Embassy suites La Vista Hotel and Conference Center.
