The highly anticipated 2025 Commodity Classic is set for March 2-4 in Denver, Colorado! This premier agricultural event, known for its focus on farmer education and innovation, promises an exciting experience under the theme "Elevating Excellence in Agriculture."

A preliminary schedule outlining various sessions, presentations, and trade show exhibits is now available online. This year, the Denver show expands to a new three-day format, offering attendees more opportunities to learn and network.

The expanded schedule includes a pancake brunch, closing reception, and other farmer-focused events alongside the addition of 30 educational sessions on cutting-edge farming technologies planned for the fall.

"We're thrilled to bring the Commodity Classic to Denver for the first time," say event co-chairs. "With record attendance at the past two shows, we expect another successful event packed with valuable experiences for farmers and exhibitors."

Video: Learning to Wrench From Dad the Hard Way

Harvest is a week out and the farm picked this week to fall apart. The truck needs a battery, the barn curtain's got a problem, and the corn and beans are telling us we're out of time to get it all fixed.

So it's a full day of wrenching. Tork supervises while I get the truck back running, then we're out at the hog barn where one rusted up part has the whole curtain system hung up. Ladder work, cable work, and a little dad-and-son disagreement about the right way to do it. We close it out walking the fields, shelling beans and checking corn, because whether everything's fixed or not, harvest starts when harvest starts.
