The American Farm Bureau Federation will hold its national convention in Anaheim, California, from January 9 to 14, 2026. This major agriculture event will welcome farmers, policymakers, and industry leaders from across the country.
The theme Imagine Grow Lead encourages farmers to think about new ideas, improve production systems, and strengthen leadership in agriculture. The convention program includes general sessions, educational workshops, and a modern trade exhibition.
One of the key speakers will be the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins. She will discuss national farming priorities such as managing costs, supporting trade, and improving economic conditions for producers. Her address will focus on current challenges and future opportunities.
A special discussion panel will feature leaders from the U.S. Senate and House Agriculture Committees. They will explain their vision for agricultural policy and share plans that aim to improve food systems, protect farmers, and support rural communities.
Tim Tebow will also speak during the convention. His session will focus on leadership values, service, and teamwork. His message is expected to motivate young farmers and agricultural students.
AFBF President Zippy Duvall will open the event with his annual speech to members. He will highlight the importance of cooperation and progress within the farming community.
The convention will offer workshops across four major tracks. These include public policy, rural development, member involvement, and consumer education. These sessions aim to build knowledge and improve farming practices.
The trade show will feature new agricultural tools, digital platforms, and farm services. This will give attendees a chance to explore solutions that support productivity and sustainability.
The 2026 Farm Bureau Convention will serve as an important platform for learning, leadership, and future planning for American agriculture.
