AgTC Conference the Biggest and Maybe the Best

The Agriculture Transportation Coalition’s (AgTC) 23rd Annual Conference was the biggest, and by many reports, the best in its history, according to a bulletin which members can read online. This year's conference chair, Perry Bourne of Tyson's Foods, kicked off the two days with an overview of the shipping environment, and a call to shippers and carriers to work together to address the many significant challenges. All the presentations are posted at www.agtrans.org under the Conference & Workshop Resources tab.
