Modern Ag Alliance Connects with Farmers at Farm Progress Show

The Modern Ag Alliance recently joined farmers and agricultural leaders at the 2026 Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa. Farm Progress is one of the country’s largest gatherings for the agricultural community and is an important time to connect with our peers about modern agriculture tools.

Executive Director Elizabeth Burns-Thompson connected with growers and partners, hearing firsthand about the challenges and opportunities shaping American agriculture today. From rising costs and tight margins to policy uncertainty, these conversations reinforce the importance of ensuring farmers have the tools and flexibility they need to keep their operations productive and resilient.

Events like Farm Progress are an important opportunity for MAA to stay close to the people at the center of our work. As we continue advocating for science-based policies and farmers’ access to essential crop protection tools, we’re grateful for every opportunity to listen, learn, and strengthen relationships across the agricultural community.
