Commodity Classic 2025 Breaks Records
with High Farmer & Media Attendance

Over 11,300 Attendees at Farmer-led Trade Show and Educational Event in Denver

ST. LOUIS, MO (March 11, 2025) – Over 11,300 attendees including farmers, exhibitors, industry stakeholders and media gathered in Denver from March 2-4 for the 2025 Commodity Classic.

The event broke previous records with this year’s 5,221 farmer attendees and 168 registered media. Additionally, 433 companies exhibited at the Colorado Convention Center, home of the 2025 show.

“The energy in Denver was unlike anything we’ve experienced at Commodity Classic,” said Deb Gangwish, a Nebraska farmer, National Corn Growers Association member and co-chair of the 2025 Commodity Classic. “Farmers have long known that investing in themselves is the best way to invest in their farms, and Commodity Classic offers so many different ways for growers to learn. It’s exciting to see the show expand and reach so many more producers every year.”

Fellow 2025 co-chair Rob Shaffer, an Illinois farmer and American Soybean Association director, echoed Gangwish’s comments. “It’s exciting to see Commodity Classic’s attendance grow in recent years. Coming off two record-breaking shows, we’re very happy with Commodity Classic’s first time in Denver,” he said.

After record-breaking shows in Houston in 2024 and Orlando in 2023, Commodity Classic was named one of the 50 fastest-growing trade shows in America for attendance and top 100 by square footage by Trade Show Executive, a publication that recognizes the top trade shows in the U.S.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins toured the trade show floor and spoke to attendees at the start of the show. The event featured more than 30 educational sessions, a sold-out trade show spanning 12 acres, policy meetings of the sponsoring commodity associations and a keynote address by mountaineer and adventurer Jeff B. Evans. Guests enjoyed a wide range of presentations from top farmers and well-known industry leaders.

The 2026 Commodity Classic will be held Feb. 25-27 in San Antonio, Texas. New companies that wish to exhibit can submit their interest to tradeshow@commodityclassic.com. Registration for the San Antonio show will open November 2025. Follow Commodity Classic on X at @ComClassic and on Facebook for updates.

Established in 1996, Commodity Classic is presented annually by show owners American Soybean Association and National Corn Growers Association in conjunction with the National Association of Wheat Growers, National Sorghum Producers, and Association of Equipment Manufacturers.
