World Ag Expo - the world’s largest annual exposition - continues Wednesday and Thursday (Feb. 10-11) at the International Agri-Center (IAC) in Tulare, Calif.

Mother Nature has put smiles on the faces of exhibitors and attendees with mostly sunny skies with temperatures in the low 70s.

Hours for World Ag Expo – the 49^th annual event – are 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Wednesday and 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Thursday.

The 1,600 exhibitors on hand will share the latest technology in equipment, irrigation, and other products with attendees on the 2.6 million square feet of exhibit space. Last year, attendees from 49 countries attended World Ag Expo.

Jerry Sinift, the IAC’s chief executive officer, says, “When our exhibitors succeed, our attendees and farmers transform their operation, and consumers all over the world are positively impacted by the increased efficiency and the continuous re-evaluation of ‘what we’ve always done.’

He added, “Ag is evolving to feed a growing world. And we’re here to help facilitate that.”
General admission at the gate is $15 per person per day. Children age six and younger are admitted free. Buy tickets online for $10 each with the discount code WFP entered at checkout (save $5 per ticket).
