2026 AFBF Event to Promote Growth Leadership and Innovation
Farmers, ranchers, and ag leaders are invited to the 2026 American Farm Bureau Federation Convention, January 9–14, in Anaheim, California. This year’s theme, “Imagine. Grow. Lead.” sets the tone for an event filled with celebration and forward-thinking.
The convention kicks off with recognition of County Farm Bureaus and their outstanding programs through the County Activities of Excellence awards.
Meanwhile, the Ag Innovation Challenge will reward one innovative startup with $100,000 in prize money. The popular Farm Dog of the Year contest also returns, with entries closing July 11.
Participants can attend workshops tailored to public policy, rural development, member engagement, and consumer engagement. These sessions are designed to help strengthen leadership skills and share ideas across the agriculture sector.
