MOFGA’s Farmer to Farmer Conference is known for its intimacy, in-depth treatment of topics, and profound discussions. The conference offerings are based on the idea that farmers learn best from their peers and other practitioners.

Our unique workshop session format presents talks by both agricultural service professionals and farmers, and then opens up to a farmer discussion that explores both the unique and common experiences of everyone in the room.
