Secretary Rollins & Congressional Ag Leaders to Speak at AFBF Convention

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins and the chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate Agriculture committees will all be featured speakers at the American Farm Bureau Convention.

Secretary Rollins, who has led USDA through a pivotal first year of the Trump administration focused on the agriculture economy, trade and reducing costs for farmers, will speak about the challenges and opportunities ahead for American agriculture during the closing general session on Monday, Jan. 12.

Tim Tebow was announced in June as a closing general session speaker - a two-time national champion, Heisman Trophy winner, College Football Hall of Fame inductee, and five-time New York Times best-selling author.

The chair of the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, Sen. John Boozman (R-Ark.), and Ranking Member Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) will be joined by the chair of the U.S. House Committee on Agriculture, Rep. Glenn "GT" Thompson (R-Pa.), and Ranking Member Rep. Angie Craig (D-Minn.) on a panel to discuss their vision for the future of U.S. agriculture and their plans for 2026. The congressional panel will take place during the mid-general session on Sunday, Jan. 11.

AFBF's 107th convention will be held Jan. 9-14, 2026, in Anaheim, California. The theme is "Imagine. Grow. Lead." AFBF President Zippy Duvall will give his annual address to Farm Bureau members during the opening general session on Sunday morning, Jan. 11.

A full lineup of workshops will be offered in four tracks - public policy, rural development, member engagement and consumer engagement. The convention will include a trade show featuring cutting-edge innovations in agricultural technology, tools and services.
