The Agricultural Outlook Forum (AOF) is USDA’s largest and premier annual gathering. The breadth and timeliness of the AOF programs have consistently drawn a diverse group of participants, including producers, processors, policymakers, government officials, and non-governmental organizations. It routinely attracts more than 1,800 people in person and several thousand virtual attendees from the U.S. and around the world.

The 2025 Program will feature a presentation on the latest outlook for agricultural markets and trade by USDA Chief Economist Seth Meyer, many distinguished guest speakers, and 30 breakout sessions covering a wide range of timely agricultural, food market and environmental issues. Onsite attendees will also have the opportunity to visit exhibit booths showcasing the important missions and activities of various USDA agencies as well as recent USDA-funded innovations.

Two pre-Forum field trips will also be available, but please note that space is limited for each trip. See details
