The Indiana Farm Equipment and Technology Expo announced that it will return to Grand Park in Westfield, Ind., Dec. 13-15, 2022. The three-day Expo features a showcase of the latest agricultural technology as well as one of the largest displays of farm equipment in the Eastern Corn Belt. Exhibitor reservations are now open, and contracts can be obtained at indianafarmexpo.com. The Expo moved to Grand Park in 2021. The new location and venue received rave reviews from exhibitors and from the more than 6,000 farmers that attended the show last year. Several new features and services are being planned for the 2022 event. Several new services have been added to make exhibiting at the Expo easy and convenient: free use of fork-lift equipment, free pressure washing station and a free designated exhibitor parking area. Food exhibitors will now be allowed on the show floor. In 2021, all available exhibit space was used, and several interested exhibitors were turned away. With even more and larger equipment expected for the 2022 show, those interested in exhibiting should make commitments early. A promotional video highlighting the Expo and the Grand Park facility can be found at https://youtu.be/HOG6zL0PCFY. The Expo is the joint venture of the two largest agricultural media organizations in Indiana: Hoosier Ag Today and Farm World newspaper. In 2018, the two organizations formed Midwest Ag Events, LLC and purchased the Indiana-Illinois Farm Equipment and Outdoor Power Show from Richard Sherman, who had owned and operated the show for 40 years. The show’s name was changed, and its focus expanded to encompass new developments in technology that impact production agriculture. With expanding show attendance and the increasing size of farm equipment, the Expo decided to relocate to the Grand Park Sports Campus in Westfield. The Expo is held in December each year after farmers have completed their production season and as they begin to plan for the next year. More than just a trade show, the Expo features a free seminar series with informational programs covering top issues and also new trends and developments in agriculture. There is no charge for the three-day event. More information can be found at indianafarmexpo.com. |
