MINNEAPOLIS -- (Business Wire)
Piper
Jaffray (NYSE: PJC), a leading investment bank and asset management
firm, is scheduled to host its inaugural Agriculture & Animal Health
Investor Day on Tuesday, August 5, 2014.
The Upper Midwest is a major hub for new agricultural technologies that
help growers drive yields and the event will be taking place in
Minneapolis at the Piper Jaffray headquarters office. Piper Jaffray has
an extensive history covering the agricultural industry, uniquely
approaching opportunities across the full value chain from field to
market.
“As farmers continue to pursue higher crop yields and the demand for
food pushes farming into more challenging growing conditions around the
world, new technologies are emerging to tackle these issues,” said Michael
Cox, head of equity research for Piper Jaffray. “Presenting
companies and guest speakers at the Piper Jaffray Agriculture & Animal
Health investor conference will highlight these innovations, along with
key industry trends in farm machinery, grain handling & infrastructure,
and biofuels.”
The event will expose investors to executive teams from some of the
nation’s leading agriculture, capital equipment and animal health
companies. Public and private companies, as well as industry thought
leaders and farmers will discuss key industry trends and the state of
the agriculture economy. Key trends in animal health will be presented
including new product development, as well as a look into the state of
the livestock and dairy markets.
The Agriculture & Animal Health Investor Day will consist of keynote
speakers, fireside chats led by Piper
Jaffray research analysts, panel discussions and one-on-one meetings.
