What to Expect
High-Impact Sessions and Networking Opportunities
One day of strategic sessions on trade, biofuels, ag policy and global markets:
Growing Uncertainty: Upstream Implications
A look at the mounting challenges facing agriculture and rural America, this discussion addresses the rising challenges with imported inputs and a deepening labor crisis - driven by both domestic workforce shortages and immigration-related deportations.
Uncertain Policy, Uncertain Future: Navigating Biofuel Complexities
This topic needs no introduction - shifting biofuel policies have become one of the industry's biggest challenges in 2025. In this session, hear directly from industry advocates and biofuel producers as they navigate the evolving policy landscape.
Making America “Healthy” Again, but at What Cost to Agriculture?
As health-focused food policies gain traction, core agricultural products are under fire in the name of public “health”. This session explores the shifting narrative around food and its consequences for agriculture - from seed oils, to corn sweeteners, and MAHA’s attack on production ag’s most important herbicides and pesticides.
Farming Without Borders: Innovations and Insights from Around the World - in Partnership with Cargill Inc.
Featuring a panel of top producers and originators from Argentina and Brazil, this session explores the political and economic forces shaping agriculture in two of the U.S.’s leading competitors—and how global market shifts are creating new challenges and opportunities for South American agriculture on the world stage.
