The Farm Progress Show publishes nearly 600 exhibitors on 85 acres and Husker Harvest Days publishes no attendance figure on the pages linked in this guide, so neither is ranked. Next by published figures: the Great Lakes EXPO (over 5,000 decision makers each year), the Irrigation Show (close to 4,000) and the Iowa Pork Congress (3,900+).

The lookbookField, barn & corral 2027
The crop draws the crowd. The grower makes the call.
Behind every bag of seed and every machine on a lot is someone who plants, feeds, irrigates or harvests: the rancher at the barn wall, the young grain farmer in his straw hat, the agronomist with a tablet in the rows, the sheep farmer by her flock. Plan the booth around the people who buy from you.
Plan for wind first, then for looks.
02 THREE KINDS OF FARM EVENT
U.S. agriculture trade shows, farm shows and ag expos Field show, machinery floor or grower convention?
Farm events come in three kinds, and each one decides what you can build. Outdoor field shows such as the Farm Progress Show, Husker Harvest Days, Farm Science Review, Sunbelt Ag Expo, Ag Progress Days, Farmfest and most of World Ag Expo sell lots on a permanent show site, with field demonstrations nearby; you bring the tent or structure, the flooring and the shade, and you plan for wind, sun and rain. Big indoor machinery and livestock floors such as the National Farm Machinery Show, the Iowa and Nebraska Ag Expos, IPPE and Commodity Classic sell booths in halls, where tractors and implements roll in on a fixed schedule and floor load matters. Grower and association conventions such as the Almond Conference, NAICC, IFCA, the ARA Conference and the fruit and vegetable meetings put the sessions first and open an expo hall of 10×10 booths or tabletops. Search, filter and save the ones that fit.
Every profile includes dates, city and venue, who attends, who exhibits, company fit, what is good to know before booking and a direct link to the organizer.
Farm shows and ag expos: the floor or the lot is the point.
- Floor time
- One to four days of open hall or open grounds, from the Iowa Events Center in winter to 85 acres of exhibit fields at the Farm Progress Show, with field demonstrations, ride-and-drive lots and livestock barns beside the aisles
- How you exhibit
- Indoor booths by the 10×10 space or the square foot; outdoor lots from 40×40 feet at World Ag Expo and 30×50 to 150×150 feet at Farm Science Review, so full-size machines, tents and buildings are possible
- Budget
- Space or lot fee, structure or tent, flooring, equipment handling, power and water, labor and show-week hotels
- Best for
- Showing machines and products at full size, meeting farmers and dealers from a whole region and launching a product into the season
Grower and association conventions: the meeting first.
- Floor time
- Exhibit hall hours set around sessions, from a hotel ballroom at MCPR to a convention center hall at the Almond Conference
- How you exhibit
- 10×10 booths, 8×10 booths, tabletops, Tech Tables and sponsor packages; a few allow aircraft or equipment by arrangement
- Budget
- Booth fee or sponsor package first; graphics, counters and displays that travel in cases
- Best for
- Meeting ag retailers, crop advisers, veterinarians and association members who come to learn and buy for a whole operation

06 BUILT FOR THE BARN, THE HALL AND THE LOT
Agriculture booth ideas Bring the field indoors. Or build out in it.
We have no farm show build to show you yet, so here are real Purple builds for other industries: a pet treat maker, a packaging company, a cutting tool maker, a housewares brand, a young plant grower and a steel roll-forming company. Each one carries an idea that works on a farm show floor or an outdoor lot, and we say which.
01 / THE BARN GABLEJack & Pup · Purple Exhibits
Frame the entrance like a barn door.
A wood-grain gable, green turf underfoot and product walls on both sides make a booth people walk into, not past. Built here for a pet treat maker, the same barn frame reads instantly at a livestock, dairy or feed show.
02 / THE FIELD FLOOREcotact · Purple Exhibits
Put the crop under their boots.
Turf flooring, backlit walls of open farmland and a square hanging sign turn an island into a field. Built for a packaging company, it carries straight over to seed, crop protection and fertilizer booths at Commodity Classic or an ag retail expo.
03 / THE MACHINE ISLANDHan Song · Purple Exhibits
A header they can find from the next hall.
A tall red and white header, backlit product walls and a long counter make a large island easy to find in a big hall. Built for a cutting tool maker, the same plan suits an implement or parts company on a floor as large as the National Farm Machinery Show.
04 / THE SHADE FRAMEAsian · Purple Exhibits
Open timber frames, nothing to hide behind.
Pale timber A-frames over white shelving and a green living wall keep the booth open on every side. Built for a housewares brand indoors, the open-frame idea is the one we adapt for an outdoor lot, with ballast, a fabric roof and graphics rated for weather.
05 / THE LIVE PLANT BENCHXL-Bloom YoungPlants · Purple Exhibits
Let the plants do the selling.
Tiered benches, wooden tables and banners hung high put live plants at eye level for a young plant grower. Fruit, vegetable, nursery and greenhouse exhibitors at the Great Lakes EXPO or Indoor Ag-Con can use the same layout.
06 / THE CANOPYSHC Heavy Industry · Purple Exhibits
A roof over the steel.
A yellow overhead canopy frames a black counter with steel samples and photo panels of the plant. Built for a steel roll-forming company, the canopy and sample counter fit grain handling, bin and dryer companies at GEAPS Exchange.
07 SIX ROWS TO CHOOSE FROM
Choose the right agriculture trade show for your buyer Who writes the check? Start with the farm.
A dairy herd manager, a corn grower, an ag retailer and a vineyard manager all go to farm shows, but rarely the same ones. Equipment buyers walk the big machinery floors and field shows, crop input buyers sit in association conventions, livestock producers follow their own species, and fruit, wine and greenhouse growers meet in winter conferences. Pick the person who buys, then the show.
Farmers, ranchers & equipment dealers
For tractor, combine, implement, sprayer, building, trailer and farm service companies at World Ag Expo, the National Farm Machinery Show, the Farm Progress Show, Husker Harvest Days, Farm Science Review and the regional farm shows.
What mattersThe machine at full size, a ride or a demo in the field, the dealer who will service it, and a price they can take home to talk over.
Row-crop growers, ag retailers & crop advisers
For seed, crop protection, fertilizer, biologicals and application equipment companies at Commodity Classic, the Potato Expo, ARA, ASTA, NAICC, MCPR, IFCA and the USA Rice Outlook Conference.

Precision ag, drone & ag tech buyers
For guidance, data, automation, aerial application and spray drone companies at the NAAA Ag Aviation Expo, the Spray Drone End User Conference, Tech Hub LIVE, the Agronomy Conference & Expo and World Agri-Tech in San Francisco.
What mattersA working demo, honest answers on connectivity and service, and proof the numbers pay back on their acres.
Cattle, dairy, pork & poultry producers
For feed, animal health, genetics, housing, milking and handling equipment companies at World Dairy Expo, IPPE, World Pork Expo, CattleCon, PEAK, the pork congresses, the Central Plains Dairy Expo and the veterinary meetings.
What mattersAnimal health and performance results, equipment they can see work, and a rep who knows their species and their region.
Fruit, vegetable, wine & greenhouse growers
For orchard and vineyard equipment, packing, plants, crop protection, lighting and growing systems at the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium, the Almond Conference, the Great Lakes EXPO, Indoor Ag-Con and the regional fruit and vegetable meetings.
What mattersThe product in their hands, a grower who already uses it, and someone who understands their crop and their harvest window.
Irrigation, grain handling & milling teams
For pivot, drip, pump, bin, conveyor, dryer, safety and milling equipment companies at the Irrigation Show, GEAPS Exchange, the NGFA Country Elevator Conference, the IAOM conference and the Texas cotton ginners' show.
What mattersSpecs, capacities and safety data, a part or a cutaway on the table, and an engineer who can answer the hard questions.

THE OUTDOOR FIELD SHOW
Eighty-five acres of lots.
Wind, sun and a gravel lane.
Built to stand out there.
The Farm Progress Show puts nearly 600 agribusinesses on 85 acres of exhibit fields, Farm Science Review rents 150×150 foot lots, and World Ag Expo sells outside lots from 40×40 to 80×80 feet. Out there, Purple builds tent-ready frames and weighted structures, graphics printed for sun and rain, flooring laid over grass or gravel, and shade with a lounge where a grower can sit. We build in our Fishkill, NY and Las Vegas shops and plan the build around the show's move-in days and anchoring rules.
Plan a booth for an outdoor lot
09 LET'S GET YOU ON THE GROUNDS
How to exhibit at an agriculture trade show Read the lot plan. Then pound the stakes.
Farm shows ask more of a booth than most: a lot open to the weather, a tractor that has to roll in on time, animals with health rules, and growers who decide in a few minutes. Here it is in plain pieces: the kind of event, the outdoor lot, the machine on the floor, the animals, the space contract, the demo, new exhibitor programs, freight and labor, and the follow-up.
01THE KIND OF EVENTKnow which of the three kinds you booked.
- Outdoor field show: The Farm Progress Show, Husker Harvest Days, Farm Science Review, Sunbelt Ag Expo, Ag Progress Days, Farmfest, Dakotafest and most of World Ag Expo rent lots on permanent show grounds. You bring the structure, the flooring and the shade. Field demonstrations run nearby, and Husker Harvest Days bills itself as a fully irrigated working farm show.
- Indoor machinery and livestock floor: The National Farm Machinery Show fills more than 1.2 million sq ft indoors, the Iowa Ag Expo 7.25 acres and the Nebraska Ag Expo five buildings. IPPE fills 662,000 sq ft of halls, and World Pork Expo and World Dairy Expo mix buildings with tents and outdoor space.
- Grower and association convention: ARA, ASTA, NAICC, MCPR, IFCA, the Almond Conference and the fruit and vegetable meetings open an expo hall around the sessions, usually in 10×10 booths, 8×10 booths or tabletops. AASV runs Tech Tables instead of booths.
02THE OUTDOOR LOTPlan for wind first, then for looks.
An outdoor lot is a field with a number on it. In plain words:
- Wind and weather: Tents, frames and signs need anchoring or ballast that meets the show's rules, and graphics printed for sun and rain. Plan what comes down if a storm warning goes out.
- Tents and canopies: Many shows rent tents through their own vendors or allow your own; check sizes, stake rules and whether the lot has buried lines.
- Power and water: Order them early and plan where they land on the lot. At Husker Harvest Days, lot irrigation runs in daylight hours only.
- Flooring: Grass turns to mud and gravel is hard on heels. Raised flooring or interlocking tiles keep the booth level and dry.
- Shade and seating: Late summer at the Farm Progress Show and October at Sunbelt Ag Expo can run hot. Shade and a chair keep a grower in the booth longer.
03THE MACHINE ON THE FLOORBook the move-in before the design.
- Move-in slots: At the National Farm Machinery Show heavy equipment moves in through the expo center's halls on a fixed schedule; Commodity Classic moves large equipment in February 26–28, 2027.
- Floor load and doors: Ask the hall for door sizes, floor load limits and the route from the dock before you choose which machine to bring.
- Outside or inside: At World Dairy Expo and the Texas cotton ginners' show heavy machinery goes outside; World Ag Expo sells separate Ride & Drive lots for driving demos.
- Protect the floor: Drip pans, tire mats and covered fuel caps keep the space clean and the deposit intact.
04THE ANIMALSRespect the biosecurity rules.
- Read the rules early: World Pork Expo applies biosecurity rules on site, and livestock shows often limit which animals, clothing and equipment may come in.
- Design for clean: Wipeable counters, no shared bins of feed or bedding to touch, and hand sanitizer at the counter.
- Tell the story without the animal: Photos, video, data and a sample of the product often work better than a live animal and keep the booth inside the rules.
- Know who may attend: AASV limits attendance to veterinarians, students and others who meet its rules, and AABP accepts only products that apply to veterinary medicine.
05THE SPACEApply early. Many shows sell out.
- Prices: World Ag Expo inside 10×10 booths run $2,250 interior and $3,000 corner for 2027; Commodity Classic charges $1,730 per 10×10 for 1–5 spaces; Farm Science Review charged $7,025 for a 150×150 foot lot contracted by June 30, 2026; IPPE space is $30 per sq ft since October 1, 2026, per the organizers.
- Wait lists: Commodity Classic sold out with a wait list in 2026, the Iowa Ag Expo sells out every year, the NAAA trade show is sold out with a wait list, and the Central Plains Dairy Expo waitlist may not open until 2029.
- Openings: Ag Progress Days 2027 reservations open in mid-November 2026; Farm Science Review application dates are not confirmed yet.
06THE DEMOShow it working in the dirt.
- Field demonstrations: Farm Science Review runs demonstrations in designated areas at no extra fee, and Ag Progress Days sets aside more than 80 acres for crop and machinery demonstrations.
- Ride-and-drive: World Ag Expo sells Ride & Drive lots averaging 100×220 feet for driving demos.
- On the floor: GEAPS Exchange runs Innovation Stations for small-group equipment demos, and CattleCon has a live Demonstration Arena.
- Indoors, bring the field: A recorded field pass on a big screen, a cutaway part and a bin of seed or grain make the demo work in a hall.
07THE NEW EXHIBITORStart small, look settled.
- Use the programs: The Iowa Ag Expo Innovation Hub groups robotics, drone, precision and input companies, Husker Harvest Days has an Ag Tech Pavilion, World Agri-Tech has a Start-Up Arena, and the Irrigation Show sells a $1,550 Startup Showcase package (2026), per the organizers.
- Share a space: World Ag Expo allows a second company to share a space for $500, and the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium sells booth sharing.
- Bring what makes it yours: A printed counter wrap, a lit header and one good product display turn a single booth into a brand.
08THE FREIGHT & LABORCount back from move-in day.
- Count back from the deadline: Every show publishes move-in days and warehouse dates. Our builds take 30 to 45 days, so we work back from those dates.
- Build close to the show: We build in our Fishkill, NY shop and our Las Vegas shop, which builds and prints for the Irrigation Show and Indoor Ag-Con in Las Vegas.
- Know the labor rules: Convention centers and fairgrounds set who may install, wire and move equipment. The Eastern Winery Exposition's convention center is non-union. Your project manager runs the install with the labor the show requires.
- Watch the distance: Aquaculture America is in Honolulu in 2027, where freight and drayage add lead time, and the Farm Progress Show alternates between Decatur, Illinois and Boone, Iowa.
09THE FOLLOW-UPCall before the planter rolls.
Scan every badge with notes: the operation type, acres or head count, the products they asked about and who decides. Send the price sheet, the trial data and a quote within days of the show.
Tag every lead as a farmer, a dealer, an ag retailer, a crop adviser or a processor so follow-up reaches the right person. Farm buying follows the season: equipment orders often close before spring work, seed and input plans before planting, and livestock projects around herd decisions. Measure meetings and quotes opened over a full season, not only scans.

10 THE MATH BEHIND THE ORDER
Agriculture trade show budget & ROI Plant the numbers. Count the harvest.
Put numbers behind the plan. Add your full show budget and your own customer economics to see what breaking even could look like over a realistic buying season.
Budget beyond the lot fee.
- Space & presence
- Booth or lot fee, structure or tent, graphics, product displays, lighting, flooring, furniture, shade and seating.
- Getting there
- Freight, equipment handling and move-in, anchoring and ballast, installation, dismantle and storage between shows.
- Running the booth
- Electrical, water hookups, internet, lead capture, cleaning, samples, coolers, giveaways and any field demo fees.
- Your people & follow-through
- Sales, agronomy and service staff time, travel, show-week hotels, dealer dinners and post-show trials.
Get itemized quotes and a contingency line. On outdoor lots, the tent or structure, ballast, flooring, power and water hookups add up; indoors, equipment handling, electrical and labor do. Show-week hotels near the rural field shows fill early. These categories are a planning checklist, not a price estimate.

Agriculture trade show FAQ Plain questions. Straight answers.
What are the biggest agriculture trade shows in the U.S.?
The National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville is the biggest by published attendance, with more than 300,000 guests each year, per the organizer. By the figures organizers publish, it is followed by Farm Science Review (112,000 visitors in 2026), World Ag Expo (about 100,000 a year on average), World Dairy Expo (an estimated 50,138 in 2026), Ag Progress Days (46,000, per Penn State), IPPE (about 33,000 registered in 2026), Farmfest (27,000+), the Amarillo Farm & Ranch Show (15,600 in 2025), Commodity Classic (12,122 in 2026) and World Pork Expo (10,000+ each year).
What is the biggest farm show in the U.S.?
By published attendance, the National Farm Machinery Show is the biggest, with more than 300,000 guests each year on more than 1.2 million sq ft indoors, per the organizer. By exhibit space, World Ag Expo in Tulare, California lists 1,200+ exhibitors on 2.6 million sq ft. Among outdoor field shows, Farm Science Review in London, Ohio counted 112,000 visitors in 2026, and Husker Harvest Days bills itself as the world's largest totally irrigated working farm show.
When is World Ag Expo 2027?
World Ag Expo 2027 runs February 9–11, 2027 at the International Agri-Center in Tulare, California. The organizer lists over 1,200 exhibitors on 2.6 million sq ft and an average of about 100,000 attendees a year from more than 70 countries.
How much does a booth cost at World Ag Expo?
A 10×10 inside booth at World Ag Expo 2027 costs $2,250 interior or $3,000 on a corner (Building C: $2,380 and $3,270). Outside lots run from $2,270 for a 40×40 interior lot to $10,790 for an 80×80 lot on Median Street, and an average 100×220 foot Ride & Drive space is $13,890. A second company can share a space for $500, per World Ag Expo.
How do new exhibitors get into the National Farm Machinery Show?
New companies request space at the National Farm Machinery Show through its New Exhibitor Application, per the organizer; booth rates are not published. The 2027 show runs February 10–13 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, entirely indoors, so heavy equipment moves in through the halls on a fixed schedule.

Commodity Classic 2027 runs March 3–5, 2027 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. 2027 booths cost $1,730 per 10×10 for 1–5 spaces, $1,650 for 6–19 and $1,340 for 20 or more, with a $420 inline premium. The 2026 show had 12,122 attendees and was sold out with a wait list, so new exhibitors apply for open space or the wait list. Atlanta hosts in 2028.
What is the difference between an outdoor lot and an indoor booth at a farm show?
An outdoor lot is a piece of open ground on the show site that you fill yourself; an indoor booth is a marked space in a hall with the floor, lighting and power of the building. Lots are larger (World Ag Expo outside lots start at 40×40 feet and Farm Science Review lots run from 30×50 to 150×150 feet) and fit machines, tents and buildings, but you plan for wind, rain, sun, flooring, shade, power and water. Indoor booths are usually sold by the 10×10 space or the square foot.

What are the biosecurity rules at livestock shows?
Biosecurity rules are set by each show and apply on site; World Pork Expo, for example, applies biosecurity rules across the fairgrounds. Read the exhibitor manual before you design: plan wipeable surfaces, no shared feed or bedding to touch, and a display that tells the story with photos, video and product rather than live animals.
When is farm show season?
Farm show season peaks in winter and again in late summer. In this guide, December 2026 has fifteen events, January and February 2027 bring the big indoor shows (IPPE, World Ag Expo, the National Farm Machinery Show, CattleCon), and August and September 2027 bring the outdoor field shows (Farmfest, Ag Progress Days, the Farm Progress Show, Husker Harvest Days, Farm Science Review) and World Dairy Expo.
What should an outdoor farm show booth include?
An outdoor farm show booth needs shade, flooring and a structure that stands up to wind. Plan a tent or weighted frame, graphics printed for sun and rain, flooring over grass or gravel, a covered counter, seating, weather-tight storage, and power and water ordered from the show. Leave room around machines so growers can walk around them and climb in.
How far ahead should I plan a farm show booth?
Start at least three to four months ahead, and earlier for shows that sell out. Our builds take 30 to 45 days, and we count back from the show's move-in and warehouse dates. Space opens early: Ag Progress Days 2027 reservations open in mid-November 2026. Farm Science Review applications: date not confirmed yet.
Can Purple Exhibits build a booth for an outdoor farm show?
Yes. Purple builds tent-ready frames and weighted structures, weather-proof graphics, flooring over grass or gravel, and shade and lounge areas, as well as indoor booths from 10×20. We build in our Fishkill, NY and Las Vegas shops, give fixed proposals, and your project manager runs the install with the labor the show requires.
12 SPEAK FLUENT FARM SHOW
Agriculture trade show glossary The exhibitor manual, in plain words.
Outdoor lot, frontage, ride-and-drive, biosecurity, drayage. The words show managers, decorators and grounds crews use every day, explained plainly, so nothing gets lost between the lot map, the equipment form and the purchase order.
Show all 26 terms
Space & lot
- Outdoor lot
- A plot of open ground on a farm show site, rented by size. World Ag Expo outside lots start at 40×40 feet; Farm Science Review lots run from 30×50 to 150×150 feet. You bring the structure, flooring and shade.
- Frontage
- The length of a lot or booth that faces the main lane or aisle. More frontage means more people see the display; corner and main-street lots often cost more.
- Inline booth
- A booth in a straight row with neighbors on both sides and one side open to the aisle. Indoor farm shows often sell 10×10 units that combine into a 10×20 or 10×30 inline.
- Island
- A booth or lot open on all four sides. Islands suit machines people walk around and allow the tallest structures where the rules permit.
- Outdoor trade mall
- The outdoor exhibit area at a show that is mostly indoors. World Dairy Expo puts machinery in its Outdoor Trade Mall, priced at $2.50 per sq ft in 2026.
- Tabletop
- A table-sized exhibit space instead of a booth, common at grower and veterinary meetings. AASV calls its tabletops Tech Tables; CEA Summit East uses tabletop exhibits only.
Demos & equipment
- Field demo
- A working demonstration of equipment or crops in a field set aside by the show. Farm Science Review runs demonstrations in designated areas at no extra fee.
- Ride-and-drive
- A lot where visitors drive or ride in a machine. World Ag Expo sells Ride & Drive spaces averaging 100×220 feet ($13,890 in 2027).
- Demo plot
- A planted strip that shows a seed, input or practice side by side with a check, so growers can see the difference in the field.
- Move-in window
- The set days and times when equipment and freight may enter the hall or grounds. Commodity Classic moves large equipment in February 26–28, 2027.
- Floor load
- The weight a hall floor can carry per square foot. Heavy machines and grain equipment need the number checked before the show assigns a spot.
- Ballast
- Weights that hold a tent, frame or sign down on an outdoor lot where stakes are not allowed or not enough against the wind.
- Innovation hub
- A grouped area for new technology companies. The Iowa Ag Expo Innovation Hub held 46 companies; Husker Harvest Days has an Ag Tech Pavilion.
Animals & rules
- Biosecurity
- Rules that keep animal disease out of a show and off farms: limits on live animals, clothing, shared surfaces and equipment. World Pork Expo applies biosecurity rules on site.
- Wait list
- The line of companies waiting for space at a sold-out show. Commodity Classic, the NAAA Ag Aviation Expo and the Central Plains Dairy Expo all run one.
- Exhibitor manual
- The show's rulebook: move-in times, structure heights, anchoring, electrical, animal and vehicle rules, and the forms to order services.
Freight & services
- Drayage
- Moving freight from the dock or the show's warehouse to your space, usually billed by weight. Island venues such as Honolulu add freight and drayage lead time.
- Decorator
- The show's official contractor for carpet, furniture, electrical and freight. The Southeast Regional Fruit & Vegetable Conference uses RPM; the TCGA show uses Southwest Exposition Services.
- Hookups
- Power, water and sometimes internet ordered for an outdoor lot. Order early and mark where they land so the layout works around them.
Farm words
- Center pivot
- An irrigation system with a long arm on wheeled towers that turns around a central point and waters a circle of crop.
- Ag retailer
- A local business that sells seed, fertilizer and crop protection to farmers and often applies them. ARA, MCPR and IFCA serve ag retailers.
- CCA
- Certified Crop Adviser, a credential for agronomists. Sessions at the National No-Tillage Conference carry CCA credits.
- Biologicals
- Crop inputs made from living organisms or natural materials, such as biostimulants and biopesticides. The Biostimulants World Congress is built around them.
- Controlled environment agriculture (CEA)
- Growing crops indoors or in greenhouses with managed light, climate and water. Indoor Ag-Con and CEA Summit East focus on it.
