The 11th annual Ag Outlook Forum brought together nearly 400 attendees for one of the Midwest’s premier pre-harvest gatherings, convening leaders from across the agricultural, policy, and business sectors. Headlined by USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins and moderated by Agri-Pulse Founder Sara Wyant, the program featured a powerhouse lineup of speakers addressing the issues shaping agriculture’s future—from economic trends and new tax law changes to emerging animal health challenges. Attendees also heard insights from USDA Chief Economist Dr. Seth Meyer, Senator Roger Marshall, Representative Sharice Davids, and John Deere’s Alex Sayago among other respected industry leaders.

The Forum opened with an afternoon program featuring KC Chamber President Joe Reardon, Congressman Mark Alford, and a special “Trump 2.0” panel discussion exploring what the new administration could mean for rural America and the farm economy. The following day’s sessions delivered in-depth perspectives on the ag economy, policy shifts, and industry challenges, with strong participation and lively discussion throughout.

With high engagement and a diverse mix of voices, this year’s Forum reinforced its reputation as a leading venue for ag and food industry professionals to connect, share insights, and prepare for the year ahead.
