The American Farm Bureau Federation’s 2026 Convention will feature a familiar name to college football fans. Chad Smith has the keynote address announcement.
Smith: Farmers and ranchers should mark their calendars for the upcoming
American Farm Bureau Convention in Anaheim, California, January 9-14. AFBF President Zippy Duvall says attendees can expect to hear from a big name.
Duvall: This year's theme for our convention is, ‘
Imagine. Grow. Lead.’ and we just announced our first keynote speaker. He's a two-time national champion, Heisman Trophy winner, and a first round NFL pick. His name is Tim Tebow. We hope that everyone will mark their calendars and plan on joining us, January 9th to the 14th of 2026.
Smith: He said Tebow will bring an inspiring message to Farm Bureau members.
Duvall: Tim Tebow has led an inspiring life, from his childhood to college and through his career in sports, and his faith has guided him through some of the toughest times, and he's used his talents to help others. All of this resonates with rural America, and I'm sure that everyone who will attend will be able to relate to this gifted person.
Smith: Registration opens to Farm Bureau members through their state offices on October 1.
Duvall: But we want to remind everybody that you don't have to be a Farm Bureau member to attend, and we invite all to come out and be with us in Anaheim. At our
last convention, we had 80 speakers sharing their knowledge and experience with our attendees. We'll have another packed agenda in 2026, so keep your eye on the convention website for a full lineup of engaging workshops and cutting-edge trade show exhibitors.
