Most trade shows or farm shows are meant to showcase “what’s new.” I’m on the committee for a trade show and this has come up often in our discussions. That’s why I think it’s interesting that World Ag Expo has for the second year picked the top new products that will be displayed at the show. How’d you like to be on the judging for that?
Historic World Ag Expo
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.

Right next door to Kemper Arena is the American Royal Center which also includes Hale Arena . There’s a lot going in inside, including The American Royal Marketplace where you can do some early holiday shopping.

Outside the American Royal is a very large and very unique metal structure called “Bull Wall.”
American Royal Kicks It Into High Gear
The 107th American Royal is in full swing and in fact the PRCA Rodeo is scheduled in Kemper Arena in Kansas City on Oct. 27 – 29! I was on site this past weekend so I’ve got a few images to share. Maybe there’ll be time to go spend a day at least. This is one busy place this month and next!
Sunbelt Ag Expo Features Over 1,200 Exhibitors
Here’s the latest news from Sunbelt Ag Expo in Moultrie, GA. The reports we’ve had were sent in courtesy of Randall Weisman, Southeast AgNet. Thanks for the news!
Sunbelt Ag Expo Honors Florida Dairy Farmer
Out here in the midwest we hear a lot about shows like Farm Progress but what about the Southeast? Well this week it’s the Sunbelt Ag Expo. I have many fond memories of covering this show in year’s past. Some that maybe just need to be forgotten too.
He’s The Wisconsin Cow Czar
In this week’s ZimmCast I’ve got something a little different. You’re probably familiar with the Cow Parade, you know that public art exhibition that got started in Chicago some years ago. Maybe you collect the minatures that are now sold as fine collectibles everywhere. If you have wanted to know more about how a public art display that is all about a farm animal works then listen to my interview with cow parade, cow artist, Steve Kozar. Steve was painting his cow in his booth at World Dairy Expo, so we could even see him work! Steve said people were having fun with his last name but he really got a kick out of it when I dubbed him the “Wisconsin Cow Czar.”
Jahnke’s Should Start A “Famous Bucks”
It’s been a busy day at World Dairy Expo. Made somewhat harder after spending an evening with this crew (farm broadcasters) at Pam Jahnke’s house in Madison. She’s the fabulous farm babe of Wisconsin. Buck made great ribs and mine hurt from laughing so hard at all the jokes.
Sampling The Finer Things In Life At Expo
It’s time to leave World Dairy Expo for the day so I had to give you at least a taste of what’s going on here and a sample of what you’ll find on World Dairy Diary! Thanks to the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board the media got some treats today.
