 Colvin & Co. To Host American Farmland Conference In Boston

Originally Appeared On:"marketwatch.com"

By Press Release(Market wire)
April 9, 2012

Colvin & Co. LLP cordially invites you to attend the American Farmland Conference on April 18, 2012 at The University of Massachusetts Club in Boston, Massachusetts.

The conference is open to the public at NO COST and will highlight the following topics:

- Global Demand for Agriculture - Renewable Fuels - What is Farmland? - Farmland Values - Why U.S. Farmland?

Teucrium Trading, represented by Steve Kahler, will join Colvin & Co. to highlight the importance of agriculture as an investment class. Steve will speak to the importance of agricultural commodities in the current environment and the significance of American farmland.

"The conference will address the world's growing demand for grain driven by rapid population and economic growth in emerging markets," said Greyson Colvin, Managing Partner. "Food production will need to double by 2050 to feed the world's expected population of over nine billion."

Marc Schober, Associate, noted "An investment in farmland over the long-term will provide a steady stream of income and capital gains. Increasing global demand for agricultural commodities is outpacing supply, which positions farmland for long-term appreciation."

Time: 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm

Location: The University of Massachusetts Club 225 Franklin Street Boston, Massachusetts 02110
