Producers are invited to join Keystone Cooperative on Thursday, August 20, to discuss strategy, innovation, and long-term planning during the 2026 Co-op Classic at their Scircleville facility near Frankfort.
“This is a day built for our farmers. It’s built for our members; it’s really all about them,” said Amy Kinsler, Senior Vice President and Chief Experience Officer with Keystone Cooperative.
Kinsler says the full day of events brings together industry experts and more than 80 ag partners, giving producers direct access to crucial tools and insights heading into a pivotal season.
“We’ve got speakers coming in that are going to talk about the farm economy, they’re going to talk about our input supply and what procurement looks like for this year, risk management strategies, AI—you name it, we’ll have it there to talk to our farmers so that they can learn,” Kinsler said. “We’re also going to have over 80 vendors there, so all of the partners that our farmers work with as they prepare for fall, we’ve got them all there so they can come and access them all in one spot.”
The day also marks a key milestone for the cooperative, featuring incoming CEO Scott Logue on the main stage to discuss the organization’s path forward.
“He’s going to talk a little bit about the strategy of the co-op, where we’re heading here in 2027, and a little bit of his vision, which will be really great for our members to hear,” Kinsler noted. “Again, he’s been with us for a long time, he knows Keystone in and out, and he’s going to do a great job leading us forward.”
Kinsler emphasized that the presentations are built strictly to provide practical value that growers can take straight back to the farm.
“This is something that we are really intentional about who we bring in and how we present that information. This isn’t a commercial about Keystone at all,” said Kinsler. “This is really about the information that we think our members need to hear in order for them to be successful as they head into fall, which then leads into planning for the 2027 crop.”
