Registration for on-demand access is available through Friday, March 12. Thanks to generous sponsor support, farmers can register at no charge. The cost is $20 for all other registrants.
Once registered, you will be able to view any of the sessions on-demand through April 30, 2021. Registration is available at CommodityClassic.com. A complete list of sessions is also available on this website.
Highlights include a keynote address from USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack, a conversation between the farmer-leaders of the four commodity associations that present Commodity Classic, as well as the ag chair of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, and executive roundtables featuring top agribusiness leaders. Dozens of other sessions focus on topics such as marketing, mental health, weather, trade, soil health and more. Additionally, sponsors showcase their latest innovations, services, and products.
