# Keynote: United Suppliers Technology Exchange – New Orleans, Louisiana, Agricultural keynote

For this event I had about 300 farmers in the room — and truth be told, I love working with these folks. Farmers are some of the most innovative people I know — they are open to new ideas, the exploration of new technologies; they are constantly in search of new methodologies and so much more. It’s a theme I capture in the agriculture section of my Web site; in particular, read the post [Two Types of Farmers](/2014/05/two-types-of-farmers-what-we-can-learn-from-the-worlds-oldest-profession/). I’ve got a separate keynote description for my agricultural talks : [Big Trends in Agriculture: What Will the World’s Oldest Profession Look Like in 2025?](/keynotes-workshops/topics/keynote-big-trends-in-agriculture-what-will-the-worlds-oldest-profession-look-like-in-2045/)
