Farm Bureau’s convention is coming soon to Anaheim, California. Chad Smith has more on opportunities for those who couldn’t attend in person.

Smith: While the American Farm Bureau Federation Convention is always best when attended live, there are multiple livestream opportunities for people who couldn’t travel to California this year. Niki Jones, director of event marketing for IDEAg, says Farm Bureau wants to offer a first-class experience to those tuning in from home.
Jones: There are three general sessions, one Sunday morning, one Sunday afternoon, and one Monday morning that people can tune into live on fb.org. In addition, the Cultivation Center Stage will also stream live. That stage showcases TED-style talks on a variety of ag-related topics during the trade show hours.
Smith: She said the livestreams will offer a variety of content for farmers, ranchers, and anyone interested in keeping up with agriculture’s latest hot topics.
Jones: Streaming content live will allow them to stay up to date on topics such as empowering young leaders, fertilizer, mental health, or the grassroots efforts and successes of Farm Bureau members from across the country. They can also hear President Zippy Duvall's keynote address, or hear from the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins.
Smith: Jones said the easiest way to find more information is on the convention website.
Jones: If interested in streaming the convention content, you can go to annualconvention.fb.org, and navigate to the schedule of events. Presentations on the Cultivation Center Stage and at the general sessions will be featured on the livestreams this Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
Smith: Again, go to annualconvention.fb.org for more information or to watch the livestream. Chad Smith, Washington.
