Horse Farms Forever® is proud to recognize the Silver Level Sponsors of the 2026 Conservation Summit! Their generous support helps bring our community together to discuss the importance of protecting Marion County’s horse farms, agricultural lands, and open spaces.
This year’s Summit, Great Florida Cattle Drive: Lessons for Protecting Farms, Ranches and the Florida Wildlife Corridor, features Emmy Award–winning filmmaker and National Geographic Explorer Carlton Ward Jr., who will share how Florida’s ranching heritage and working lands are connected to wildlife conservation.
We are also excited to welcome Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson as a speaker! A fifth-generation Floridian and lifelong farmer, Commissioner Simpson brings more than 40 years of agricultural experience to the conversation.
We thank our Silver Sponsors for supporting these important discussions and helping preserve Florida’s agricultural heritage for future generations.
