GREAT LAKES EXPO NEWS
New educational sessions at the 2019 GLEXPO
The upcoming Great Lakes Fruit,
Vegetable & Farm Market EXPO
promises to bring the latest must-see
educational sessions to the industry.
While the EXPO offers many educational
sessions by crop, the organizers also bring
general information that pertains to
growers and farm marketers regardless of
what they'll be growing in the spring.
These sessions include a keynote on
consumer trends, a discussion of business
management best practices and how
online pre-sale of produce can boost
total sales. All three are must-attend,
especially for those growers who sell at
farm markets, which creates additional
intricacies and challenges.
The keynote speaker this year is a cattle
rancher with a message of advocacy for
agriculture, sparked by the love of farming
her family fostered in her at a young age.
Paige Pratt is thrilled to be part of the
EXPO for the first time, and she hopes to
bring relevant information to all attendees.
Pratt will discuss consumer trends, as
things shift from the practicality of the
baby boomer generation to the new values
millennials and Generation Z bring to
the table. She will help growers realize
these changes and learn to reach a span of
consumers to whom they've never been
able to market before.
" There is a shift in climate happening.
When people purchase products, they are
purchasing things that will line up more
with values rather than just purchasing
products. They are concerned with value
and cost, but also if the company they are
buying from has values that match theirs, "
said Pratt.
The keynote session promises to
provide marketing insights and ways
growers can embrace positivity in their
messaging. Pratt recommends that any
growers or farm marketers interested in
having a seat at the agriculture industry
table into the future should attend. Even
if they are not doing direct marketing,
growers can glean information from Pratt
about how to influence the buyers of the
present and future, whether those buyers
are large commercial interests or directly
purchasing produce at a farm market.
Rusty Rumley of the National
Agricultural Law Center will speak at
several sessions during the EXPO. The
Business Management Session is about the
types of businesses growers can have. It
will outline legal entities and their pros and
cons for growers and farm marketers alike.
Many growers do not realize they are
already considered a sole proprietorship
or a partnership automatically. Besides
these two traditional business entities,
in a retail setting. Roney will share tips
on utilizing pre-ordering to bolster
event attendance and sell more produce,
especially to people who usually shop
online - which is increasingly becoming
a trend impacting farm marketers. For
example, pre-selling bushels of sweet
corn will give farm marketers a chance to
bring people to the market who wouldn't
normally attend and offer additional
produce to them when they pick up their
sweet corn at the market.
Roney has attended the EXPO for
Ruth Ann Roney of Tuttle Farms, and
a speaker at the Great Lakes Fruit,
Vegetable and Farm Market EXPO in
Grand Rapids, Michigan.
growers have several other options: LLC,
S Corporation and a few others. Rumley
will speak specifically for growers and
Extension agents who work with farm
operations and share the reasons - legally
- why specific types of businesses are
better for growers.
Ruth Ann Roney will lead a marketing
session called " Selling More Produce
Through On-Line Sales. " The session
is geared toward anyone who utilizes a
farm market or who is selling produce

We offer a
full line of
fruit &
vegetable
equipment
years, and encourages growers to make
the trip to Michigan for the show. " As a
farmer, it has always been a place to go to
get great information and network with
a lot of other growers, and it is one of the
best shows to attend in the Midwest - and
even outside the Midwest. "
" With farming and its razor-thin
margins, it is important that people
seize every opportunity they have, about
entering new markets or cutting costs on
what they are already doing, and going
to events such as EXPO is a great way to
further develop those skills, " Rumley said.
