A tradition we are proud to support - the annual Arkansas State Fair Sale of Champions! 🐓 🏆

Record attendance. A sold-out trade show. A poultry community that keeps showing up! 👏

The 2026 Poultry Symposium for Live Production brought more than 600 attendees together in Rogers for two days of learning, connecting, and sharing ideas for the future of poultry production.

This year’s new single-track agenda covered everything from hatchery performance and flock health to feed mill operations, emerging technology, and attracting the next generation. A roundtable looking ahead to 2027 explored the innovations shaping what comes next for our industry.

Our sold-out trade show kept the conversations going, giving attendees time to catch up with familiar faces, meet new partners, and explore solutions for their operations.

Thank you to our speakers, vendors, sponsors, planning committee, and every attendee who made this a record-setting year. Your participation is what makes this event such a valuable gathering for our industry!

We’re excited for what’s ahead!

Another great Missouri State Fair is in the books—and we were proud to support two programs that demonstrate the strength of Missouri agriculture and the partnerships behind it.

As a sponsor of Missouri Farmers Care Foundation’s Drive to Feed Kids, The Poultry Federation helped support an effort that provided 825,196 meals for Missouri children and families facing hunger.

We were also honored to support Missouri’s next generation of agricultural leaders through the Sale of Champions. Congratulations to Judd Lawson of Schell City, who exhibited the Grand Champion Pen of Chickens, purchased by The Poultry Federation for $5,100 alongside Youth in Agriculture and hometown supporters.

These programs are powerful examples of what can be accomplished when Missouri agriculture works together—supporting our neighbors, investing in young people and strengthening communities across the state.
