2026 Family Farm Alliance Annual Conference

The 2026 Family Farm Alliance Annual Conference brings producers, policy makers, and water professionals from seventeen Western states together for two days focused on what comes next. This yearâs theme, Growing the Pie: Innovation for the Next 100 Years, puts innovation on center stage: new water storage at every scale, desalination, groundwater recharge, and the emerging technology helping irrigation districts modernize their systems. These themes will be explored alongside the policy outlook from Washington, drought response, and how we pay for the infrastructure the next century of Western agriculture will need. The conference provides an opportunity for national policy leaders, farmers and ranchers from seventeen states, and innovators to discuss water policy, technology, and infrastructure crucial for Western irrigated agriculture.
