With the annual American Farm Bureau Federation convention right around the corner. Nikki Jones with IDEAg a subsidiary and the event planning arm of AFBF highlights the keynote speakers for the upcoming convention. She says they will speak about growing and sustaining ag businesses.

“We've got two keynote speakers Jack Aldridge who is a futurist and economist and he's got a really unique take on agriculture and what's to come. And then Greg Hardin, who worked for the University of Michigan and trained was, you know, the person that helped to motivate and train athletes like Tom Brady. We're interested in hearing from both of them. I think they will be informative but also really motivating and provide a lot of practical advice for the year to come. But if someone is listening and they are not planning to be in Salt Lake City, some of the content will be streamed.”

The 2024 theme is new frontiers. And for the first time ever, Jones says a convention will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah. They will also have an ag forecast session with AFBF President, Zippy Duvall and they will have Ted Talk style so and they will have Ted Talk-style sessions streamed online as well as the tradeshow details on times, days and locations are available on the website and registration is currently open.
