The 20th annual Commodity Classic was one for the record books.
Total attendance was 7,936, more than 600 over the previous record, 7,325, set in 2014. Other records broken were the number of growers, at 4,328 (compared to 3,874 in 2014); and the number of first-time attendees, at 1,409 (compared to 1,261 in 2014). Additionally, the trade show featured an all-time high of 355 participating companies, representing a record 170,500 net square feet of booth space. In 2014, 301 exhibitors used 126,200 net square feet.
Next year’s meeting of corn, soybean, wheat and sorghum producers will be held in the Big Easy March 3-5 when the Association of Equipment Manufacturers and many of its members will be joining the event – which means it can only get bigger!
