Abstract: This paper presents the background, development, content, successes, short comings, and possible sequel of a national farm management research conference recently held in the United States of America. The paper offers two benefits to the international farm management community. First, is an awareness of the conference and of the availability of conference proceedings. Second, is provision of a model that may be used and improved upon by farm management specialists in other countries who may wish to organise a similar conference. The conference included ten presented papers, discussions of those papers, a panel of two agricultural industry leaders, group discussions, and concluding comments. Possible improvements on a second conference include involvement of professional farm managers, more small group discussion, efforts to reach consensus on specific future priorities and agenda, and scheduled time for participants to specify and share their individual future priorities and agenda.
