The Cultivating Connections Conference is an annual event for farm transition planners - those professionals dedicated to enabling the transition of agricultural operations from one generation to the next. This conference is a forum for learning and discussing the latest laws, strategies, tools, and insights necessary for effective farm transition planning. It brings together a diverse range of professionals, attorneys, accountants, educators, and financial advisors, who share a common goal: to preserve the legacy and sustainability of family farms for future generations. 

Centered on ag retail, this conference serves as a platform to expand agronomic knowledge, network with peers, and discover new market opportunities, while digging into the dynamics of effective business practices. The conference aims to empower attendees with actionable solutions they can bring back to their businesses and customers while exploring the future of agriculture. The expo will provide hands-on engagement and exhibits that showcase the latest innovations.

With so much uncertainty surrounding farm, trade and nutrition policy over the next few years, attendance at this year’s Symposium is a must for all who are invested in the U.S. sugar market, sweetener industry, and food manufacturing industry. 2025 has ushered in a new Congress, a new administration, and new changes at the federal agencies that manage sugar policy.
