New USDA Chief Economist to Make First Appearance at Agricultural Forum

Farmers and agricultural professionals will receive their initial preview of what could be expected for this year’s spring corn and soybean planting season when the USDA’s recently appointed chief economist Dr. Justin Benavidez takes center stage at the Agricultural Outlook Forum.

This event will mark Benavidez’s first public appearance since taking on his new position with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, offering the farming community an opportunity to hear directly from the department’s top economic analyst about market conditions and planting projections.
