The 2025 INFB Young Farmers & Ag Professionals Conference will take place from February 21-23, 2025, at the Sheraton Hotel at Keystone at the Crossing in Indianapolis, Indiana. Additional event details and registration information will be shared as they become available.
One of the highlighted speakers at the conference is Temple Grandin, a renowned professor of animal science at Colorado State University. Grandin is widely known for her groundbreaking work in livestock handling, designing facilities that are used by companies globally. Her contributions to animal welfare have influenced major corporations like McDonald's, Wendy's, and Whole Foods, particularly through auditing programs she helped implement.
Grandin has been featured on prominent TV programs such as 20/20, Larry King Live, and Prime Time. She has authored several influential books, including Thinking in Pictures, Livestock Handling, and Animals in Translation, which became a New York Times bestseller. In 2017, she was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame, and in 2022, she was recognized as a Distinguished Professor at Colorado State University for her outstanding contributions to her field.
