Lots, tents and field demos: Ag Progress Days 2027 booths, Pennsylvania Furnace

What makes Ag Progress Days different, and how we build for it
Ag Progress Days is Pennsylvania's largest outdoor agricultural exposition and one of only three U.S.farm shows run by a major university, per Penn State. It happens on a research farm, not in a hall: exhibitors rent outdoor lots by frontage and depth along gravel streets, or tables in five buildings and four tent structures, while seed companies grow their own hybrids in assigned corn plots. Daily field demonstrations of drones, hay equipment, corn chopping and spreaders pull crowds to the demo fields, and Penn State researchers and Extension educators exhibit next to the brands, so a visit mixes buying with learning.
Forage, feeding, handling and barn equipment they can stand next to, from people who know a Pennsylvania dairy operation.
Planters, sprayers, hay tools and seed they can judge in a real plot or a field demonstration before the fall decisions.
A clear story about what the product does, told simply enough for a farm family walking Main Street on a summer evening.
Your team in Pennsylvania Furnace
How Purple runs Ag Progress Days 2027 at Rock Springs
We build and print in our Fishkill, NY shop and truck the display straight to Rock Springs through Gate J, since there is no advance warehouse or general contractor. Our project manager books the facility forklift, power and accepted service providers, leads the lot or tent setup with whatever labor Penn State allows, and plans teardown after the Thursday 3 p.m. close.
Inside Ag Progress Days 2027
Rules that shape your Ag Progress Days booth
Digging, excavation and earth moving are not allowed in the exhibit area, and posts, stakes or aerial displays need the Show Manager's permission. We plan ballasted canopies and sign bases first and ask about anchors early.
Every exhibitor and demonstrator files a certificate with $1 million general liability per occurrence, auto liability and worker's compensation, naming The Pennsylvania State University as additional insured and covering the show dates.
There is no general services contractor on site; exhibitors secure services in advance and every subcontractor must meet the show's insurance rules. Penn State posts a list of accepted service providers.
Businesses moving products or supplies out of Pennsylvania's spotted lanternfly quarantine zone need a state permit and a vehicle log, and Penn State asks exhibitors traveling from those counties to comply.
No item may be dismantled or removed before the close on the last day; tent tabletop displays come out Thursday evening, and outdoor lots must be cleared within one week unless Penn State allows longer.
Programs worth planning for
Seed exhibitors can grow selected hybrids in a 50 × 100 foot plot under central Pennsylvania conditions, with Penn State handling seedbed, fertility and irrigation; a soybean display row costs $50.
Drone, hay, cover crop, corn chopping, spreader and baling demonstrations ran on a daily schedule in 2026; a Machinery Demonstration Request Form sits with the 2027 contract.
Levels from a $500 Event Sponsor to a $10,000 Gold Sponsor with signage and parking permits, and printed program ads from $750 for a quarter page in more than 6,000 copies.

The booth we would build for Ag Progress Days 2027
The shaded farmyard lot on Main Street
Ag Progress Days is walked, not browsed: families and farmers move along gravel streets in August heat, stopping where there is shade and something real to look at. The lot works like a small farmyard with a porch: machines out front in the sun, a covered counter where the talk happens, and a sign that reads from the next street.
Street-front sign tower
A tall, ballasted sign at the lot front with the product category in big type, readable from the tour road before a visitor reaches your frontage.
Machine row
Equipment parked at the front of the lot with simple spec boards beside each one, so a dairy farmer can compare without asking.
Shaded porch counter
A branded canopy over a counter, fans and a cooler, with raised flooring so the meeting space stays level and dry.
Proof corner
A screen or printed panel with results from a Pennsylvania field, or a link to your corn plot down East 5th Street.
The demo
Tie the lot to the field: if your machine runs in the daily demonstrations, show the demo time on the sign and the clip on the screen, then walk the farmer from the demo field back to the counter.
The meetings
Penn State runs no appointment system for exhibitors, so buyers sit down under your canopy or at a picnic table on the lot. Wednesday's evening hours until 7 p.m. are the time to book dealer and key-account visits.
Proven at Rock Springs. Ready for your farm.
The Ag Progress Days booth is lit and stocked before your team arrives. You just show up.

Case study · KLEEMANN
KLEEMANN at an industrial technology exhibition
KLEEMANN paired real equipment with simulations and a guided path through the stand. On a Rock Springs lot the same thinking works outdoors: the machine up front, a screen that shows it in the field, and a path that ends at the counter.
Read the KLEEMANN case study All case studies →“From start to finish, their team was professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. They designed and built a beautiful trade show exhibit that exceeded my expectations and helped our company stand out. We received many compliments on our booth.”

04 Designing for machinery, dairy, forage, crop input, seed, building and ag technology brands selling to Pennsylvania and Mid-Atlantic farms at Ag Progress Days
Designing for Rock Springs: gravel streets, August sun, field demos
1Design for gravel and grass
Outdoor lots at Rock Springs sit on a working farm, so we plan raised flooring for the meeting area, ballasted bases instead of stakes until the Show Manager approves them, and graphics printed on outdoor substrates.
2Read from the street
Visitors walk long streets and five miles of tour roads. A sign tower or tall banner at the lot front, with your product category in large type, earns the stop before a visitor reaches the neighbor's machine.
Plan for Wednesday evening
The grounds stay open until 7 p.m. on Wednesday, the busiest day in Penn State's past daily counts. Lighting on the counter and sign keeps the lot working after the sun drops behind the tents.
Shade, water and seats
August heat is the real neighbor. A canopy over the counter, fans, a drinks cooler and a few seats keep a farmer talking for ten minutes instead of two.

Where you could be at Ag Progress Days 2027
Ag Progress Days spreads across Penn State's Rock Springs farm. These are the areas that shape an exhibit, from Penn State's exhibitor pages.
Outdoor lots
Sold by frontage × depth from 25′ × 50′ to 200′ × 100′, on streets around Main Street; displays stay within the marked lot and setbacks.
Our advice Ask for a corner on Main Street or a demo-field route if your product needs walk-up traffic.
Buildings and tents
Five buildings with gravel bases and four tent structures hold the indoor spaces, sold at 15′ or 30′ frontage with power, a table and two chairs.
Our advice Tent tabletop displays must come out Thursday evening, so we build them to pack in under an hour.
Corn plots and demo fields
Hybrid corn plots line East 5th and 6th Streets; equipment demonstrations run daily in the field demonstration areas.
Our advice A lot on the path from the plots to the demo fields catches growers who have just seen your product perform.

What Ag Progress Days exhibitors should know before Rock Springs
The loading dock at the top of Main Street runs first-come forklift service from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays, and the site opens 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. the weekend before the show. source
Send every tractor trailer to Gate J off Route 45, using 2710 W. Pine Grove Rd. as the GPS address; the site is closed to the public outside show days. source
Outdoor lot prices exclude electricity, which is a flat $150, while indoor spaces include power, an 8′ table and two chairs; internet is $50 per device. source
Corn plot exhibitors must not add fertilizer, soil amendments or chemicals: doing so forfeits the fee, destroys the plot and bars the company for three years. source
Wednesday is historically the big day: in 2019 Penn State counted 24,000 visitors on Wednesday against 9,000 on Tuesday and 13,000 on Thursday. source
Who you meet on the floor
They come for forage, hay, feeding and handling equipment and to watch the hay and corn chopping demonstrations, per Penn State's program.
Growers compare hybrids in the exhibitor corn plots grown under central Pennsylvania conditions before ordering seed.
Penn State says 60% of the expected audience works in agriculture-related professions.
Penn State faculty, Extension educators and startups such as those in the 2026 FIRA Robotics Village meet producers on the grounds.

$950 for a 25′ × 50′ outdoor lot, rising to $4,600 for 200′ × 100′, plus $150 for outdoor electricity, per Penn State's commercial rates posted for 2027. Indoor spaces cost $1,020 for 15′ × 10′ and $1,500 for 30′ × 10′ with power, an 8′ table and two chairs.
When do Ag Progress Days 2027 reservations open?
Mid-November 2026, per Penn State. Returning exhibitors confirm and pay online, and must confirm their space before May 5, 2027.
How many people attend Ag Progress Days?
42,000 attendees and 434 exhibitors came in 2025, per Penn State's attendance history, and the show manager estimated more than 40,000 in 2026. The home page lists 46,000 attendees and admission and parking are free.
What insurance does an Ag Progress Days exhibitor need?
A certificate showing general liability of at least $1 million each occurrence, automobile liability, and worker's compensation and employer's liability, with The Pennsylvania State University named as additional insured, per Penn State. It is uploaded to the Exhibitor Hub.
Is there a general contractor at Ag Progress Days?
No general services contractor works the site, so each exhibitor secures services in advance, per Penn State. The facility provides forklift service, water, internet for a fee and electricity on paid request, and lists accepted service providers.
Can we put stakes or tent anchors in the ground?
Only with the Show Manager's permission, per Penn State: no digging or earth moving is allowed, and posts, stakes and aerial displays need approval first. Displays must stay inside the marked lot and respect setbacks.
Can seed companies plant a corn plot at Ag Progress Days?
Registered exhibitors can ask to host one: each hybrid plot is 50 × 100 feet with a 50 × 50 sod area, planted around May 1, and Penn State handles fertility, weed control and irrigation. A soybean display row costs $50.
What equipment demonstrations run at Ag Progress Days?
In 2026 the daily field program ran drone demos at 10 a.m., hay mowing and tedding, a cover crop and planting green demo, corn chopping, material handler spreaders, and hay baling and bale handling, per Penn State's demonstration map.
Can Purple build our Ag Progress Days exhibit?
Yes. We build in Fishkill, NY, plan the lot or tent display to Penn State's rules, and our project manager runs the install with the forklift and labor bookings this show needs.
How is Ag Progress Days different from the Farm Progress Show?
Ag Progress Days is a university-run show on Penn State's research farm, aimed at Pennsylvania and Mid-Atlantic farms with dairy and forage in the mix; the Farm Progress Show is the big Corn Belt field show. Choose Ag Progress Days for Northeast buyers.
Is Ag Progress Days worth it for an ag tech startup?
It can be: the 2026 show added the FIRA Robotics Village with a global agricultural robotics accelerator, and a 25′ × 50′ lot costs $950 in space. Startups meet working farmers and Penn State researchers on the same street.
Before you sign for Ag Progress Days
Ask any Ag Progress Days exhibit builder these five questions:
- How will you anchor canopies and signs at Rock Springs without digging, and when will you ask the Show Manager about stakes?
- Which accepted service providers will you book for forklift, power and setup, given there is no general contractor on site?
- How will the meeting area stay level and dry on a gravel or grass lot?
- Can you deliver through Gate J within the dock hours and finish before the 9 a.m. opening on day one?
- Where does the display live between shows, and what does it cost to reuse it at the Keystone Farm Show or Farm Science Review?
What Ag Progress Days exhibitors ask us
An outdoor show in August: will our graphics and staff survive it? They will with the right build: outdoor-rated prints, a canopy over the counter, fans and water. The show runs three days with a late Wednesday, so we light the counter and sign too.
There is no general contractor. Who handles forklifts and power? Penn State's facility provides first-come forklift service, electricity on paid request with an electrician on site, and water. Our project manager books those and the accepted service providers ahead of time.
Is a big lot worth it if we only sell one machine? Usually not. A 25′ × 50′ lot at $950 holds one machine, a canopy and a counter; spend the difference on a sign that reads from the tour road and a demonstration slot.
