The Virginia Grain Producers Association and Virginia Soybean Association are once again proud to host the Virginia Grain & Soybean Annual Conference.
The conference will span two days and is being held at the Williamsburg Lodge to provide a comfortable and inviting environment for our attendees, exhibitors, and their families.
We have hosted this conference for more than 35 years and have striven to bring only the highest quality presenters on the most pressing topics — this year is no different.
We have a great conference agenda that features leaders and experts in the grain and soybean industries, as well as leading research and association representatives.
I encourage you to read more about the program and conference agenda, and reserve your seat today!
