The 2024 Commodity Classic was held February 28th through March 2nd in balmy Houston, Texas, and participants flocked from around the country and the world to see the latest tech and hear news-making announcements from the Secretary of Agriculture, leaders in agribusiness, and national commodity groups. This year’s event drew the most attendees ever, with more than 11,000 farmers and members of the agricultural community in attendance.

To bring us everything you might have missed, whether you attended the event or not, we’re joined by DTN Progressive Farmer editor in chief Greg Horstmeier, who will take us beat by beat through everything from policy announcements related to Sustainable Aviation Fuels to his takeaways from the trade show floor. He’ll dig into technology and equipment, the hype around all things carbon, and offer insight on what he heard from farmers at the event about planting and the season ahead.

Plus we’ll discuss the recent crop protection news, what he heard about crop insurance discussions at the event, and what’s ahead for DTN coverage.
