International Trip

Join us in Brazil May 9-16, 2027!

Brazil is a country of continental proportions. 

With an area of 8.5 million square kilometers, it has the fifth-largest territory in the world and produces an impressive diversity of agricultural product. Among the world leaders in soy, corn, surgarcane, coffee, orange juice and cotton, they use less than 10% of their territory for cultivation. Join us on our agricultural tour as we meet the farmers and companies who have helped make Brazil a global benchmark for production!

This will be a tremendous opportunity to learn more about agriculture in another culture and generate content you can share with your audience.
