We’re so glad you’re here. Each year we are proud to bring you valuable opportunities for networking, education, and political discussion and this, the 38th year, is no exception! There are so many new experiences to have at Farmfest this year. Wander around and see hundreds of exhibits, exciting technology, specialty crops, and a dedicated area for livestock demonstrations and exhibits. Ag policy and the farm economy are on the top of everybody’s minds in this current climate. As always, Farmfest brings you riveting programs that will keep you informed. Visit with national Ag leaders during our Ag Policy Discussion on Tuesday. We are so proud to have the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Sonny Perdue, join us for the U.S. House Ag Committee Listening Session on the Farm Economy on Wednesday. There all so many learning opportunities throughout all three days of the show. We are fortunate to have Jolene Brown join us to give her keynote address, “Who’s Hiding the Humor,” sponsored by AgCountry Farm Credit Services and IDEAg Group. Speaker, author, and farmer, Jolene Brown brings her sense of humor and positive attitude to help us celebrate who we are and what we do for American agriculture. This year, Farm Bureau Financial Services brings the Wellness and Safety Pavilion to the show. This area of the show will certainly teach us the value of wellness and safety on the farm and in life with their tractor rollover rescue demonstration, health screenings, and exhibits with information on audiology, cancer, mental health, and farm safety for kids.
