The 2016 NAMA Boot Camp proved to be one of the best yet with survey results showing some of the highest scores to date. About 85 agri-marketers traveled to Kansas City last week to take part in the 13th annual NAMA Boot Camp. This event is great for those new to the industry as it provides an in-depth overview of the many aspects of agri-marketing.<\/p>\n

Over 30 attendees started the week with the MoKan Ag Tour, an on-farm experience with visits to Platter Farms, Peters Orchard, Ag-Power dealership and Heins Dairy. Thanks to everyone who participated in this year’s event! Check out some great photos of the week below and find all the photos on the NAMA Flickr<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n
