The first annual NFRBMEA conference was held in 1973 in Faribault, Minnesota. Over the years, conferences have been held in various locations thoughout the U.S. west of the Mississippi River. In 2006, NFRBMEA began partnering with NAFBAS (National Association of Farm Business Analysis Specialists) to plan what is now known as the “National Farm Business Management Conference”, or NFBM Conference.
The conference continues to be held every June in various locations east and west of the Mississippi River.
