Mind Your Melon at ASTA’s 2026 Leadership Summit
- On April 30, 2026
What does it really take to thrive in agriculture?
It’s not just about yields, markets, or weather. It’s about the person behind the operation, and that’s exactly what Marshal Sewell will join us in Milwaukee to talk about.
This June 9-11, we’re excited to welcome Marshal to ASTA’s 2026 Leadership Summit for a powerful morning session you won’t want to miss.
Marshal Sewell is a fifth-generation farmer, keynote speaker, podcast host, and co-founder of the Mind Your Melon Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to the mental health and wellbeing of farmers, ranchers, and agricultural families.
His work has reached agricultural communities across 15 countries, earned a 5-star podcast platform with an international audience, and led to nationally aired public service announcements in partnership with the Ad Council and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
His message is real, relatable, and rooted in the soil.
Whether you’re a seed industry professional, a grower, or someone who serves agricultural communities, this session will leave you with a fresh perspective on resilience, community, and what it means to truly support the people who feed, fuel, and clothe the world.
