Commodity Classic is unlike any other event in agriculture because it’s created by farmers, for farmers. The 2025 event is March 2-5 in Denver, CO – presented by the American Soybean Association and National Corn Growers Association, with the National Association of Wheat Growers, National Sorghum Producers and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers.
The show this year kicks off with an appearance by newly-confirmed Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins and issues include farm bill, pesticide regulations, biofuels, trade and tariffs, bioeconomy and more.
In addition to the General Session, Commodity Classic offers Learning Center, What’s New and Early Riser education sessions, along with other opportunities for education and events at the Commodity Classic Main Stage. Commodity Classic features an extensive three-day trade show with over 430 exhibitors spanning 12 acres of show space, and importantly, the opportunity to network with thousands of America’s farmers and agriculture industry professionals.
