The FLC consults with producers and industry experts to identify relevant topics, speakers and/or upcoming issues for the APN. The goal is that the APN are producer driven, which results in a greater level of producer engagement coupled with a much higher level of information exchange.

- Crop Production
- Financial Management

Each network, under the direction of producer advisors, will work with partners and sponsors to develop meeting opportunities. As discussions develop in new directions, additional networks can be added. As topics are no longer relevant, networks can be discontinued to ensure efficient use of resources. The Farm Leadership Council will facilitate the connections of participants, partners, and sponsors.
The networks will utilize the following resources:
- conference calls
- pod casts
- transcripts
- fact sheets
- manuals
- newsletters subscriptions
- reference articles
- forums
- events listing
- video
- links
- spreadsheets
- calculators
- virtual tours
- webinars
- tours
- collaborative workspaces
Our most important resources however will be the participants and the conversations that take place.
As a subscriber to an Advanced Producer Network, you will receive access to all resources posted for that network as well as input on what resources and events are of most importance. You will receive networking opportunities with other producers and key speakers on a regular basis. This is your chance to carry on the conversations that can take your learning experiences to greater and more beneficial levels.
