About Farmer2Farmer:

Farmer2Farmer is Farmers Business Network's annual conference. In 2016, F2F took place in Omaha, Nebraska.

Farmer2Farmer 2016 focused on American Entrepreneurs. Why?

Farmers are the original entrepreneurs - owning and managing complex family businesses in one of the world's most punishing markets.

Leading entrepreneurial speakers from agriculture and other industries both provided learning opportunities and entertained a crowd of nearly 1,000 farmers.

Farmer attendees left the conference knowing how cutting edge entrepreneurs think about key issues facing agriculture and rural America today. Many farmers also brought home ideas for how to upgrade their farm in 2017.
