Registration for Indiana Ag Gathering ends Dec.4

FRENCH LICK, Ind. — The Indiana Ag Gathering will take place Dec. 12-13 at the French Lick Springs Resort. The registration deadline is Dec. 4.

“INFB is excited to announce that the state convention will now be referred to as the Indiana Ag Gathering,” said Randy Kron, Indiana Farm Bureau president.

“The refreshed event builds on more than 100 years of tradition while creating more space for connection and collaboration, celebrating the people who power Indiana agriculture.

“Indiana Ag Gathering is still rooted in the Farm Bureau mission. The name is updated to reflect more space for connection and engaging with members and ag industry partners.”

Some highlights of the event include:

• Keynote from Damon West, bestselling author, philanthropist and college professor.

• Screening of the feature-length documentary, “World Without Cows,” which explores the complexity behind a seemingly simple question: Are we better off in a world without cows?

• A variety of breakout sessions covering topics such as questions for your ag lender, Ag in the Classroom workshop, ag economy updates, diversifying Indiana’s energy landscape, county Farm Bureau activities and more.

• The Hoosier Breakfast presented by AgELECT featuring Jane Becker, former chief of staff for President George H.W. Bush. Tickets required.

• The INFB Young Farmers & Ag Professionals Discussion Meet competition state finals.

• Election of INFB vice president during the annual delegate session.

Delegates also will discuss federal policy priorities in preparation for the American Farm Bureau Federation annual meeting in January.

The event will include the Indiana Ag Gathering Market, featuring over 40 Indiana Grown vendors.

The market will be open to Indiana Ag Gathering attendees and, for the first time, to the general public from 1:45 to 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 12, and from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Dec. 13.

The market also will include the INFB Swag Silo where registered attendees can pick up a free INFB item.
