Agriculture students and recent graduates will have the chance to expand their career networks through the Career Crawl program at the 2026 Farm Progress Show.
Created through a collaboration between Farm Progress Show and AgCareers, the initiative is designed to connect emerging talent with employers from across the agriculture sector. The event will be held September 1–3, 2026, in Boone, Iowa.
Eligible participants include students and recent graduates who have completed or are pursuing agriculture-related degrees or certification programs. Registered participants will receive complimentary admission to the show, giving them direct access to one of agriculture’s largest outdoor events.
The Career Crawl will provide opportunities for attendees to interact with employers, learn about current job openings, and gain insight into different career paths within the industry. Networking opportunities are expected to help participants build relationships that may support future employment opportunities.
Students will also gain access to useful career resources through AgCareers. Benefits include the ability to upload resumes to the AgCareers database, increasing exposure to employers seeking skilled candidates. Participants will also receive educational materials, including the Food and Agriculture Career Guide.
The program is intended to support workforce development by helping young professionals prepare for careers in agriculture while allowing employers to connect with potential future employees.
Exhibiting companies that participate in the Career Crawl will receive several promotional benefits. These include an AgCareers job posting valid through December 31, 2026, dedicated signage at the event, and listings within the official Career Crawl directory available on the event website and mobile app.
