TS Prosperity Group is proud to sponsor this year’s 2017 Ag Summit. The Ag Summit will take place on Thursday, Jan. 26, 2017 at the Mid-America Center in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

The evening will feature networking with our event partners, dinner, an introduction of TS Prosperity Group, and keynote speaker Dr. Ron Hanson.

Dr. Ron Hanson was raised on an Illinois family farm and earned his college degrees from the University of Illinois. He has counseled Nebraska farm families for more than 40 years, helping resolve family conflicts in a more positive manner and to improve family relations through better communications. His most recent efforts have been directed at farm business ownership succession and the transfer of management control between generations. Both the Nebraska Ag Youth Council and the Nebraska FFA Foundation have honored him for his dedicated service to both rural youth and farm families in Nebraska.

Dr. Hanson’s 46-year career teaching and advising college students earned 31 university and national award recognitions. He was also selected as the Outstanding Ag College Instructor, receiving the John Deere Agribusiness Teaching Award of Excellence.

Program Objective: Farm succession planning for the next family farming generation brings about many challenges as well as emotional issues to resolve between family members. Parents must have a vision for the future of their farm and then take the steps necessary to initiate the process to implement a farm business ownership succession plan to maintain the legacy of their family farm for their adult children, as well as to help insure the future success for the next farming generation.

Doors open at 5 p.m. for networking at the Mid-America Center in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The program will begin at 5:45 p.m. The TS Bank Ag Summit is free and open to the public. Space is limited, so register for the TS Bank Ag Summit today by clicking here or calling 712-487-3000 by January 19.
