They claim it’s still number one after 39 years and the name is certainly fitting. World Ag Expo just wants you to know a little of the history. I’m hoping to find out all about it myself next year and “blog it.” If you’re interested in being the exclusive sponsor of AgWired coverage of the show just contact me now for the cost.
In 1968, 157 agribusiness exhibitors got together to produce a local ag event in the rural town of Tulare, Calif. They called it the California Field and Row Crop Equipment Show, never dreaming what would become of their little show. Now, 39 years later – and under the more fitting name of World Ag Expo – it is the unqualified largest farm equipment and technology show on the globe.
As it heads toward its Feb. 14 –16, 2006 show dates, World Ag Expo today boasts more than 2,100 sold exhibit spaces on 2.5 million square feet of showgrounds, with visitors and exhibitors coming from every corner of the earth. World Ag Expo has an international reputation as “the place to see it all!”
The 39th annual World Ag Expo, under the leadership of Erin Ferguson, is scheduled for Feb. 14 – 16, 2006. For more information call 800-999-9186 or 559-688-1751 or keep current at www.farmshow.org.
