JEFFERSON CITY – Registration is open for the 51st Missouri Governor’s Conference on Agriculture, scheduled for Nov. 12-13, 2025 at the Wyndham Executive Center in Columbia, Mo.
“Agriculture is our state’s top economic driver and as a first-generation farmer, I look forward to this conference,” said Governor Mike Kehoe. “A priority of our administration is to help create opportunities to add value to the agriculture products grown and raised here. The Governor’s Conference on Agriculture will bring all aspects of the industry together to talk about ways to move agriculture forward.”
Missouri farmers, ranchers, agribusiness leaders and aspiring agriculturalists are invited to enjoy the program, which will include a commodity outlook, awards luncheon and nationally recognized speaker line-up. The popular Best of Missouri Grown reception will also return Wednesday, Nov. 12.
“We are excited to host the first Governor’s Conference on Agriculture with Governor Kehoe and welcome him to the event,” said Director of Agriculture Chris Chinn. “A tremendous speaker lineup will offer valuable information for farmers, ranchers and agribusiness owners. We look forward to welcoming producers from across Missouri.”
The Missouri Agriculture Awards will honor two individuals who are leaders in Missouri agriculture education and food animal veterinary medicine. To nominate a leader for a Missouri agriculture award, visit Agriculture.Mo.Gov/awards.
