About this event
"Agricultural Mediation" is presented by Kiley Fleming, Ed.D., PHR, SHRM-CP. Agricultural mediation is a powerful, proven process for resolving disputes in the ag industry—without the cost, stress, or time of going to court. This voluntary process brings everyone to the table by choice, with a neutral, trained mediator guiding the conversation toward solutions, not blame. Whether you're facing a disagreement with a lender, agency, fellow producer, or even within your family, mediation helps rebuild communication and reach practical resolutions that preserve relationships and protect your operation.
