SAIF Agri-Business Banquet

The SAIF Agri-Business Banquet celebrates Oregon’s rich agricultural heritage and its lasting impact on the mid-Willamette Valley. With nearly 40,000 farms and ranches producing more than 220 commodities, agriculture remains a vital part of Oregon’s economy and identity (Source: Oregon Department of Agriculture). This proud tradition is honored through special entertainment celebrating the people, stories, and legacy of agriculture.

Each year, we also recognize an outstanding Future Farmers of America student for leadership in shaping the future of the industry. This fun event honors a special part of Oregon’s history and culture, while looking forward to its future.

The Salem Area Chamber of Commerce thanks all of our sponsors for their support and partnership in bringing you the SAIF Agri-Business Banquet. Your commitment and generosity make this event outstanding.

2027 SAIF Agri-Business Banquet

On January 22, 2027, our business community will gather for the annual SAIF Agri-Business Banquet, presented by KeyBank, to recognize and celebrate our region and state’s agricultural industry.

This year’s event features a keynote presentation, “The Roots Run Deep”, which shares a story that agriculture’s success depends on far more than what happens in the field. From equipment maintenance and transportation to leadership development, business support, and workforce training, Chemeketa helps strengthen every part of the industry. Join us as we reveal the many ways Chemeketa supports agriculture and the communities that depend on it.

The wonderful evening will include a cocktail reception, live music, and a speech to follow. Stay tuned for more details!
