December Edition

‍Live From the AgroExpo

Every year, the AgroExpo offers a variety of activities, exhibitors, and learning opportunities for growers throughout the state of Michigan. This past year was no exception, with over 3,000 attendees, 130 exhibitors, and 120 RUP credits given. August 17th and 18th might not have seemed like some of the hottest days of the Summer, but they truly were hot with activity.

 

Demonstrations also brought the crowds in with our chopper and tillage demonstrations showcasing equipment like the Case IH 465 Speed-Tiller, the Pottinger TERRASEM C6 mulch drill and a self-propelled John Deere 9900 Chopper. The AgroExpo also had other demonstrations, which included an aerial drone sprayer provided by Aerial Ag Technologies.

 

The AgroExpo Advisory Committee met this fall and are optimistic about the new opportunities that are being planned for the 2022 AgroExpo.  With more demonstrations, a variety of speakers, and more exhibitors to network with, the  2022 AgroExpo scheduled for August 16th and 17th is expected to bigger and better tahn ever!   For those who have an interest in being a part of the 2022 AgroExpo, our exhibtor packets have been mailed. Please remember that exhibitor packets are due by January 14th. The deadline is fast approaching and you won't want to miss out!  If you need a packet click the link below for the Exhibitor and Sponsorship form. 

 

As for now, please take time to be with family and friends over this upcoming Christmas holiday and ring in the New Year as we continue to finalize details on this year's AgroExpo.
