If Montana's climate continues to become warmer and drier, how might these two large economic sectors meet that challenge and move toward creative and viable business opportunities? How can Montana benefit?
The Wheeler http://www.montana.edu/wheeler conference will, in a non-partisan and inclusive way, explore all these issues through well-formed panels and knowledgeable speakers. Whitney MacMillan, former President of Cargill, Inc., will provide the evening keynote.
The conference is open to the general public and your participation is encouraged. The conference will be of particular interest to those in the agriculture and energy sectors (traditional and non-tradtional), environmentally- based organizations, the education community, state agencies, climate scientists, current and former legislators, state, city and county officials, and all others who have a role in making Montana's energy and agricultural economies work. Please join us for this very important discussion.
The conference runs from 10am on Monday, May 12 through noon on Tuesday, May 13.
