AIM Orientation for Young ProfessionalS Join us for an open chat with the ASABE YPC Executives to learn all about AIM this year, ask questions, and connect, whether you are a returning attendee or joining for the first time. This session will provide helpful tips on how to navigate the conference schedule. We look forward to having you join the conversation!

Regenerative agriculture is getting a great deal of attention, but what does it actually look like in practice, and how should it be measured?

St. Joseph, MI & Peoria, IL — Twenty-four university teams from across the U.S. and Canada will compete in the 29th Annual International Quarter-Scale Tractor Student Design Competition (IQS), May 29–31 at the McLean County Fairgrounds in Bloomington, Illinois. Sponsored by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE), the event is free and open to the public. Each team receives only an engine and a set of Titan tires—everything else is up to them.

Lawrence Arthur, ASABE Member and PhD Candidate at Pennsylvania State University, will present "AI-Driven Precision Herbicide Spraying Approach for Sustainable Weed Management in Apple Orchards".

YPC Presentation Workshop June 24th, 12pm - 1pm CST/ 1pm - 2pm EST Join the Young Professional Community and learn how to ace your presentation, present with confidence at ASABE AIM in Indianapolis, and take these skills beyond the conference. Speakers: Sushant Mehan, Ph.D. Emily Byers, Ph.D.

Effective project management is essential for turning complex goals into successful realities.

ST. JOSEPH, MICHIGAN — The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) and the Aquaculture Engineering Society (AES) are pleased to announce the formalization of a strategic partnership aimed at accelerating technical innovation and professional growth within the aquatic engineering sector.

Join the ASABE Circular Bioeconomy Systems Institute for a panel discussion on the impacts of tariffs and trade barriers on U.S. agriculture. Hear from experts about daily effects and explore opportunities for domestic use of agricultural products in various sectors. Panelists include William Aderholdt from Grand Farm, Matthew Gammans from North Dakota State University, and Matt Herman from the Iowa Soybean Association. Member Hours are free to attend, registration is required.

This professional development session, led by Joe Dvorak, University of Kentucky, focuses on the practical process of developing AI-enabled tools for agricultural applications using modern AI-assisted development workflows. Rather than emphasizing specific programs, the presentation highlights the planning and development process that can be implemented with AI coding agents.
