From September 8-11, the 2026 Tennessee Future Farmer Conference took FFA members pursuing production agriculture beyond the classroom and into the fields, barns and businesses shaping Tennessee agriculture. The selected participants gained firsthand experience at Walker Sod Farms, Foster Farms, Harrell Farms & Grain, Grissom Farms, McBride Angus and Warren County Livestock while connecting with young farmers and agribusiness professionals who are building their own careers in the industry. The conference concluded with a special luncheon celebrating this year’s cohort and their commitment to the future of production agriculture. Thank you to Farm Credit Mid-America for presenting this unforgettable experience and investing in the next generation of Tennessee farmers!
