LOUISVILLE, Ky. – David Beck, president and CEO of Kentucky Venues, says attendees at the upcoming 56th annual National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville will leave the show excited, informed and invigorated. The show will be held Feb. 16-19 at the Kentucky Exposition Center.

“After having to postpone the National Farm Machinery Show in 2021, our number one goal has been to create an even better 2022 show,” Beck said. “This includes prioritizing a safe and seamless entry to the show floor for all our attendees and exhibitors.

New this year is the shift from mandatory to volunteer registration. While registration is recommended, it is not required to attend this year’s event.

“Adapting our original plan by making registration voluntary for ensures our attendees can experience the process for future years and access activities around the show without any challenges at the door.”

Each year farmers, equipment manufacturers and agribusiness professionals travel to Louisville to get a first-hand look at the latest equipment, technology and educational seminars at the National Farm Machinery Show. The show spans 1.2 million square feet and features more than 900 booths.

“We’re so excited to welcome everyone back for the 56th show,” Beck said. “We know the entire agribusiness industry is ready to come together to see all of the latest innovations in farm machinery and technology. Farming and agriculture are essential industries and it’s more important than ever to stay on top of the latest trends to put food on the tables of millions around the world.”

Attendees needing a pause from the influx of agricultural equipment may want to relax at the show’s Gift and Craft Market, located in the South Wing Mezzanine. The Market is for shoppers of all ages, interests and budgets. There attendees will find 70 booths that offer toys, fashion, food, art, books and much more.

Show times are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. The show is free to attend. Parking is $10 per standard vehicle and $20 per bus.
