Industry Days International

The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) held a 2022 Virtual Annual Industry Meeting to discuss commodity purchase programs on Thursday March 3, 2022.

This meeting offered a great opportunity to share upcoming changes to the purchase program and provided opportunities to collaborate with other supplier and contractor stakeholders to bring improvements to the program. Every year, we strive to create a conference format and environment that encourages partnerships.
