The 2026 Practical Farmers of Iowa Conference is in the books.
In this episode of Under the Covers, we talk about what actually stuck with us after PFI. Not a play-by-play recap, just the conversations, themes, and ideas we’re still thinking about weeks later.
We cover:
- How we explain the Practical Farmers of Iowa Conference to someone who’s
- never been
- What makes PFI different from other ag conferences
- Themes we kept hearing in hallway conversations
- A few moments that stayed with us
- Ideas we’re excited to take back to our own farms
- What feels like it’s shifting in Midwest agriculture right now
Some conversations reinforced things we’ve been thinking about for a while.Others pushed us a little. A few made us rethink how we’re approaching our own acres
