Something for Everyone in the Business
From the Publisher, Dennis Sun
As October comes to a close, convention season will kick off, running from Oct. 27 to Dec.10 this year.
In the next 45 days there will be many ag-related events taking place, and it is a good time to get up-to-date on state and national agricultural issues.
The season starts Oct. 27-28 with the Wyoming Farm to School Conference.
This two-day conference in Casper is the first of its kind. It is about those in production agriculture supplying local schools with meat and vegetables for lunch. This worthwhile movement has really caught on in Wyoming and will only get larger.
On Oct. 29-31, the Wyoming Water Association Annual Conference, to be held in Casper, will focus on water issues around the state. There will be much discussion about the Colorado River Pact.
The American Angus Association will hold its annual conference from Oct. 31-Nov. 2 in Kansas City, Mo., bringing Angus breeders together from around the world.
On Nov. 6-7, the Wyoming Association of Irrigation Districts will hold its annual meeting in Casper. With the state’s water being so valuable, there will be many discussions on irrigation water.
Also on Nov. 6-7, the 32nd Annual Wyoming Women in Ag Symposium will be held in Gillette. This event is always very informative and includes a local tour of ag businesses.
The West Central States Wool Growers Convention will be held Nov. 6-8 in Cody. This is always a well-attended convention by those involved in the sheep, lamb and wool industry.
On Nov. 10-11, the Range Beef Cow Symposium will be held in Cheyenne. This collaboration of Wyoming, Colorado and South Dakota Extensions provides a great wealth of information about raising cattle in the region. A trade show and the best information from ag colleges and other ranchers makes for a great time.
The 42nd Annual Governor’s Business Forum will take place in Laramie Nov. 11-13 where businesses from all industries will gather to hear speakers on the strength of Wyoming industries and what is happening around the state.
The Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation 2025 Annual Meeting and Vendor Fair is set for Nov. 13-15 in Gillette. This is always a good place to plan policy for the coming year and join with people from around the state. It is a real family-friendly event.
The Cheyenne Livestock Exposition in Cheyenne, set for Nov. 17-30, is a great place for all ages to show high-quality livestock.
On Nov. 18-19, the University of Wyoming Extension Rancher’$ E.D.G.E. Program in Evanston will provide important information for ranchers to learn and gauge how their ranches are doing.
The 80th Annual Wyoming Association of Conservation Districts Convention will take place in Gillette Nov. 19-21. It is a time to discuss policy, water, soil and wildlife, along with a great fundraising auction for the Wyoming Natural Resources Foundation.
On Nov. 20-22, the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union Annual Convention will be held in Cheyenne, featuring discussions on crops and policy.
Finally, the Wyoming Stock Growers Association Winter Roundup Annual Convention will take place in Casper on Dec. 8-10 for three days of policy, information, a trade show and speakers from around the nation and Washington, D.C.
We hope to see you somewhere.
