By John Rozum, AEM Senior Director of Industry Sectors —
The present and future of America’s largest farmer-led, farmer-focused agricultural and educational experience has never looked brighter.
Commodity Classic 2025 is just a few short days away, and AEM is so proud to once again play a role in bringing it to life. That’s because Commodity Classic is the only place where you can find the most progressive and productive farmers in the world meeting with best-in-class ag equipment manufacturers, vendors, and providers.
When these two groups come together on and around the trade show floor, the types of conversations and connections that take place are the ones that help shape the ag industry of tomorrow. It’s simply impossible not to be excited and energized by what you see, hear, and experience at Commodity Classic, because all of it points to where agriculture is headed in the not-too-distant future.
It’s also why AEM and its partners – the National Corn Growers Association, American Soybean Association, National Sorghum Producers, and National Association of Wheat Growers – have worked so diligently to make Commodity Classic a uniquely valuable forum for you and your fellow attendees and exhibitors to build meaningful and lasting relationships with one another.
Scheduled from March 2-4, at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado, Commodity Classic 2025 will provide farmers with the solutions, information, and insights that they are looking for to secure long-term efficiency, profitability, and growth. The show will also connect exhibitors focused on row crop products and services face-to-face with America’s best farmers, and the best ag media around.

The farmers that attend Commodity Classic year in and year out represent a significant percentage of U.S. crop acres. And it’s no secret what keeps bringing everyone back: the knowledge that you can come across familiar faces, popular brands, and new products, as well as many opportunities to be part of a truly special trade show experience.
With all that said, AEM and its show partners are excited to share that Commodity Classic 2025 offers unprecedented access to:
- Incredible insights via a full slate of educational sessions designed to keep your sights set on efficiency, profitability, and continual improvement.
- Eye-opening innovation and technology showcased in the huge trade show—where you can see the latest advancements and talk directly with the people behind them.
- Visionary thought leaders and innovators in agriculture who will challenge the ways in which we all look at the future of ag.
- The spectacular energy of being around thousands of positive, talented farmers who share your passion for agriculture and your thirst for knowledge.

However, what’s truly amazing about this show is, even as the average age of U.S. farmers trends upward, the average age of Commodity Classic attendees is trending downward. That says, at least to me, that there’s a potential for growth, a collective positive attitude toward the future, and a widespread desire to support ag over the long-term propelling this event forward and making it ag’s can’t-miss event.
Ultimately, we all recognize Commodity Classic brings tremendous value to its stakeholders. We’re also seeing more exhibitors bring customers, dealers, and other stakeholders to the show to see what’s new and exciting. With that fact in mind, what better way is there for exhibitors to show confidence in their own products than to bring customers out to see what the competition has to offer?
Commodity Classic is a special event, and the farmer-driven partnership between AEM, NCGA, ASA, NSP, and NAWG has the show positioned for sustained success. The future of this show is undeniably bright, and AEM looks forward to helping make the premier commercial farmer conference in North America an even better overall experience and gathering place for all segments of agriculture.
