Today’s Only Certainty IS Uncertainty
And that’s exactly what we’re tackling at AgriNext 2025, happening July 23–24 in St. Louis.
This year’s theme — Certain Uncertainty: Trade, Policy, and the Future of Ag — dives headfirst into the forces reshaping agriculture, with timely topics and insights from some of the most influential voices in the industry.
What to Expect
High-Impact Sessions & Meaningful Networking
Thursday, July 24 | Doors open 8am, Sessions begin at 9am
A full day of strategic conversations focused on trade, biofuels, ag policy, and global markets—designed to equip you with insights and connections that matter, all in the unique setting of Downtown’s Ballpark Village.
Growing Uncertainty: Upstream Implications
A look at the mounting challenges facing agriculture and rural America, this discussion addresses the rising challenges with imported inputs and a deepening labor crisis - driven by both domestic workforce shortages and immigration-related deportations.
Uncertain Policy, Uncertain Future: Navigating Biofuel Complexities
This topic needs little introduction—shifting biofuel policies have emerged as one of the industry's most pressing challenges in 2025.
The expiration of the long-standing blending tax credit, the implementation of 45Z, and now sweeping changes to both 45Z and the Renewable Fuel Standard have introduced a complex and uncertain regulatory environment.
In this session, hear directly from leading industry advocates, analysts, and biofuel producers as they discuss how they’re navigating the evolving policy landscape.
Oh, Canada!
Trade tensions with the U.S. and China continue to fuel uncertainty for Canadian agriculture, while evolving U.S. biofuel policies raise fresh questions about the future of canola. In this one-on-one session, hear how these pressures are unfolding on the ground—and what’s at stake for Canadian agriculture.
Making America “Healthy” Again, but at What Cost to Agriculture?
As health-focused food policies gain traction, core agricultural products are under fire in the name of public “health”. This session explores the shifting narrative around food and its consequences for agriculture - from seed oils, to corn sweeteners, and MAHA’s attack on production ag’s most important herbicides and pesticides.
Farming Without Borders: Innovations and Insights from Around the World - in Partnership with Cargill Inc.
Featuring a panel of top producers and originators from Argentina and Brazil, this session explores the political and economic forces shaping agriculture in two of the U.S.’s leading competitors—and how global market shifts are creating new challenges and opportunities for South American agriculture on the world stage.
