      2. Seed return, stock transfer message to see if there is interest

      3. Unified Contract Message

        1. Interest from Scale Ticket team

        2. CP/CN (not sure which) also identified a need for a new message at Annual Conf.

          1. Scope?

            1. Vendors to retailers?

            2. Farmer to elevator?

            3. …

      4. A lot going on, need to have clarity on what the problem we are trying to solve is

      5. Speakers:

        1. Environmental Reporting - Jerry Hatfield?

          1. Not on specific program, but amount of data needed

          2. Data Requirements to be approved credits, audit compliance

          3. More and more ag retailers helping growers with submitting to programs

            1. Many different programs out there (Scope 3, SAF (biofuels), carbon credit, …) , but seems there might be a common data set that could be identified. Some sort of standardized tools to facilitate transfer

            2. Maybe a diagram of where all the data generally comes from

          4. Will right people be at MYM given the time frame?

            1. Might be better at the Annual meeting to have more business people participate

            2. Need to be at the right altitude on the topic to ensure there is value/interest

            3. Would make sense to have as a discussion topic to at least get an understanding on where ag retail is at, what requirements might be

            4. Could maybe get some retailers that have been participating in programs to provide some lessons learned and identify pain points in the process
