2025 Young Farmer Conference / Des Moines, IA

Join us for the 2025 Young Farmer Conference taking place on Friday, January 17 and Saturday, January 18 at the Community Choice Convention Center in Des Moines, Iowa.
   
This conference is a great opportunity to reconnect with friends and peers, make new connections, network and learn from professionals in the agriculture industry – while still having a bit of fun too!  

Jack Uldrich, our first of two keynote speakers, is a global futurist, speaker, and author, who will help you gain the foresight needed for a successful future. He believes creativity and action are more powerful and versatile than knowledge, and he’ll share his dynamic energy, engaging stories, and practical advice to educate, entertain, and inspire you. Our second keynote speaker, Rick Rigsby, will guide you to rediscover what truly matters in both your career and personal life. He’ll share timeless wisdom from past generations to inspire, motivate, and empower you to make a lasting impact.

Industry tours are offered on Friday afternoon. Space is limited, so register now! Tours are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Learn more below.

While at the conference, you’ll also have an opportunity to learn through 16 unique breakout sessions that address a variety of topics related to your farm, family, and future.

In addition, you can participate in the 2025 Young Farmer Discussion Meet competition (sponsored by GROWMARK and Iowa Farm Bureau), taking place on Saturday, January 18. Learn more below.
