University of Missouri’s Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI-MU) will host the 2026 Abner W. Womack Missouri Agricultural Outlook Conference on Wednesday, April 8. The free event will be held at the Poehlmann Education Center at the MU Bradford Research Farm in Columbia.
Now in its 12th year, the Womack Conference delivers objective, data-driven insight on agricultural markets, policy and farm-level challenges that matter most to Missouri’s producers and agricultural stakeholders, conference organizers say.
Conference highlights
New FAPRI leadership and baseline
FAPRI director Seth Meyer will provide an overview of institute’s 2026 agricultural market baseline, including projections for commodity markets, farm income and key policy drivers influencing the year ahead.
Meyer, who previously served as the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s chief economist and as chairman of the World Agricultural Outlook Board, brings a wealth of national and global market perspective to Missouri agriculture.
