Ag Update

Economic conditions in agriculture have weakened in 2024 following multiple years of strong incomes, but farm financial

ongoing strength in some segments of the livestock industry.
Please join Kansas City Fed Senior Vice President and Omaha Branch Executive Nathan Kauffman live from the offices
of the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions on Tuesday, November 12. This session will describe the recent economic
changes in agriculture, some of the financial challenges that may be on the horizon in the year ahead, and emerging
trends relevant for agricultural lenders.

2024 Accounting Roundtable

experts from the Federal Reserve System’s Accounting Communications Network (ACN), will discuss current and
emerging accounting issues impacting financial institutions at the 2024 Virtual Accounting Roundtable hosted by the
ACN. Among other topics, the program will include community bank CECL implementation observations, a discussion of
recent and proposed accounting standards, and an opportunity to have your burning questions addressed.

The roundtable provides participants with an opportunity to engage policy makers while enhancing communication between
regulators and accounting and auditing professionals. The roundtable will be especially relevant to community banking
