This year, the American Farm Bureau Convention came to California — and I wanted to understand why that matters.
In this episode of Field Trips, I head inside the Farm Bureau Convention to talk directly with the people shaping agriculture today. From a conversation with Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall, to asking members from across the country why being part of the Farm Bureau is so important, this episode pulls back the curtain on what the organization really does — and who it serves.
As the convention moves to a new state each year, hosting it in California carries special meaning. Agriculture looks different here, but the challenges, values, and passion shared by farmers and ranchers remain the same nationwide.
Whether you’re a Farm Bureau member, part of agriculture, or just curious about how decisions impacting food and farming are made — this Field Trip is for you.
👉 Watch, learn, and let me know what surprised you most.
