The 2023 World Ag Expo was held in Tulare, Calif., on Feb. 14 to 16, 2023. This annual show marked 56 years — with the theme, "Taking Care of Ag Business."
This year's event saw a 10-year high in attendance with more than 100,000 attendees during its three-day run.
More than 1,200 exhibitors displayed the latest in farm equipment, allowing exhibitors the chance to speak with farmers, ag professionals and students from across the country.
More than 100 educational sessions were held, from renewable energy and groundwater management to dairy and livestock innovations.
The show opened on Tues., Feb. 14, with opening remarks from U.S. Speaker Kevin McCarthy, followed by the firing of the cannon and a flyover of an F18 and F35 down Meridian Street.
McCarthy spoke about the importance of farming — "we feed the world" — and the importance of "helping today's farmers continue to grow."
After opening ceremonies, the show hosted the first U.S. House Committee Agriculture 2023 Bill Listening session, where the bipartisan committee members in attendance heard the concerns facing farmers today. House committee members included Chairman Glenn Thompson (PA-15), Jim Costa (CA-21), John Duarte (CA-13), John Rose (TN-6), along with six additional committee members, who spoke to the group about the future and concerns in farming. Food safety and water continue to be of high importance to those in attendance.
Most exhibitors were enthusiastic about the expo, where attendees were able to visit with dealers and manufacturers from all facets of the agricultural industry, from autonomous solutions to harvesting to dairy advancements.
The next edition of the World Ag Expo will be held at the same venue on Feb. 13 to 15, 2024. For more information, visit www.worldagexpo.org. CEG
