More than 11,000 farmers, industry thought-leaders, commodity groups, and ag exhibitors gathered to participate in Commodity Classic 2025 earlier this week in Denver, Colorado.

The show is the largest farmer-led, farmer-focused agricultural and educational event in North America – featuring the latest innovations, equipment, and insights that are advancing the agriculture industry and supporting farmers and growers.

“AEM is proud to partner with commodity groups to host Commodity Classic, a show that brings our member companies together to showcase the latest innovations that support the ag industry and help farmers flourish,” said AEM Senior Vice President Curt Blades. “You can feel the energy on the show floor, and it’s a great opportunity for participants to make lasting and meaningful connections.”

On opening day of the show, attendees heard from U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins. During her remarks, she discussed her priorities for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, emphasizing trade, regulatory reform, and financial relief. AEM Senior Vice President of Industry and Government Relations Kip Eideberg walked the show floor alongside Rollins to discuss AEM’s priorities and the association’s efforts to support the agriculture industry, stopping at AEM member company booths along the way.

During the show’s general session, AEM Ag Sector Board Chair and President of Kuhn North America Greg Petras represented equipment manufacturers, talking about the largest opportunities and challenges facing the equipment manufacturing industry, the importance of technology and connectivity, and what AEM is doing to uplift the ag industry.

The eighth annual Davidson Prize, one of the most prestigious awards in agricultural engineering, was announced by AEM and ASABE at the show, recognizing three groundbreaking innovations that are transforming modern farming.

Commodity Classic 2026 will take place from February 25-27 in San Antonio, Texas.
