Soybean farmers searching for a place to mingle with other growers and participate in hands-on learning experiences with new technology—need look no farther than Phoenix, Ariz. this spring.

The 20th Commodity Classic—the nation's largest farmer-led, farmer-focused convention and trade show—opens in just one month in Phoenix, Arizona, the site of the very first Commodity Classic in 1996. Registration is now open for event, which is Feb. 26-28, 2015.

"We expect to break a number of records in Phoenix in terms of both attendees and exhibitors as Commodity Classic returns to its roots," said soybean farmer Sam Butler of Alabama, Commodity Classic Co-Chair. "We have a tremendous line-up of educational sessions, outstanding speakers and a huge trade show.  And this year, we'll be adding a number of special events and activities related to the celebration of the 20th Commodity Classic."

Commodity Classic offers a wide range of learning and networking opportunities for growers, focusing on production, policy, marketing, management and stewardship—as well as showcasing the latest in equipment, technology and innovation.
