ST. JOHNS, Mich. — The fourth annual AgroExpo will feature agricultural companies with new methods and technologies, commodity groups with the latest in news and marketing, and all supporters with their eye on the future of agriculture.
The focus of AgroExpo is to bring together the best in the ag industry to connect, discover, and innovate. Michigan’s leading agricultural companies and groups will be gathered in the same location as last year’s event – but wear your most comfortable boots, because the AgroExpo is bigger and has more to see than ever before.
The popular in-field demonstrations this year feature sprayers, drones, and soil and remote sensing technology. These demos offer the opportunity to see the newest tools in action.
The speaker tent offers educational opportunities, many of which give CCA and RUP credits. There will be sessions both days with experts in the industry taking an in-depth look at the most pressing industry topics like risk management, increasing yields, nutrition, insurance, technology, and estate planning.
AgroExpo is also the site of the 2019 Crop Management Challenge, where FFA chapters compete to make the best agronomic, economic, and environmental decisions for their plots of corn. The top three of the ten chapters win cash and awards. In addition to the FFA, there are 75 seed, plant nutrition, and crop protection products plots to examine and evaluate.
Since machinery is a large part of farming operations, Ford, Chevrolet, and Ram will offer a ride and drive experience, and FFA students will also be competing in a tractor skills driving contest.
With over 130 exhibitors, the AgroExpo caters to agricultural professionals looking for information, inspiration, and connections. AgroExpo is where you will find not only the latest in innovation, but the experts behind the discoveries.
AgroExpo 2019 is August 13 & 14 in St. Johns, MI. To start planning your experience, visit theagroexpo.com.
