PLATTE CITY, Mo. (February 17, 2026) – The National Association of Farm Broadcasting (NAFB) has opened registration for its Washington Watch event, to be held April 27 – 29, 2026, in Washington, D.C. The premier annual experience brings farm broadcasters and other ag industry professionals to the nation’s capital to hear from agriculture organizations, officials from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and leadership from the House and Senate.
Rapidly changing ag policy affects everyone, and it’s more important than ever for U.S. farmers and ranchers to hear reporting on ag issues that impact their daily operations. Washington Watch is designed to provide NAFB broadcaster members access to national interviews and content, adding to their local angles to connect with their listeners.
- Washington Watch is offered to members every spring for a low registration rate. Some of this year’s highlights include:
Issues Forum featuring leading D.C.-based ag associations and companies - Visit to USDA for updates on ag and rural policies
- Capitol Hill visit to hear from Senate and House leadership
- Professional development and education sessions with leading ag influencers
- Evening outing in Washington, D.C.
