Description

Join us for the premier gathering of Maryland agriculture as we come together for the 110th Maryland Farm Bureau Annual Convention & Meeting of Delegates. This year’s theme, Rooted, celebrates the deep connections we share with our land, our communities, and each other—while looking ahead to the future of Maryland agriculture.

Over four days, more than 500 farmers, agribusiness leaders, students, policymakers, and partners will gather to shape policy, build skills, and strengthen networks. Highlights include:

Young Farmer NextGen Summit – A full day of breakout sessions, networking, and professional development for the next generation of agricultural leaders.

Workshops & Breakouts – Covering topics from on-farm business solutions and energy policy to risk management, technology, and agricultural law. Confirmed breakout sessions include:

  • Foreign Footprints: Trends in US Agricultural Land Ownership, Danny Munch, AFBF
  • Transmission Lines and Property Rights: A Maryland's Landowner's Guide to Eminent Domain, Paul Goeringer, UMD ALEI
  • Get Collaborative with Capital, MARBIDCO, Farm Credit, and NRCS
  • Looking Ahead to Maryland's 448th Legislative Session and What to Expect
  • The Cost of Waiting – The Financial & Personal Cost to the Operation and Your Heirs, Eric Vinores, Vinores Financial
  • Check back often as more breakouts and workshops are confirmed!

Networking & Trade Show – Connect with exhibitors, sponsors, and fellow members at our exhibit hall, receptions, and social events.

Awards & Recognition – Celebrate the achievements of Maryland farmers, students, and leaders at our annual banquet and live scholarship auction.

Policy Development & Delegate Sessions – Grassroots members will debate and vote on the policies that guide Maryland Farm Bureau’s advocacy at the state and national levels.
