FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO) — The Fort Wayne Farm Show is returning this week for its 37th annual event, promising a wide array of exhibits, educational seminars, and opportunities for agriculture professionals across the region. The three-day indoor agricultural expo runs January 13 through 15 at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum.
Organized by Tradexpos, the Fort Wayne Farm Show is designed to meet the evolving needs of America’s livestock producers, row crop farmers, and other agricultural professionals. This year, attendees can explore more than 1,000 booths featuring the latest innovations, equipment, and products in the farming industry.
In addition to exhibits, the show offers educational seminars presented by trusted partners, including Purdue Cooperative Extension and the Northeastern Indiana Soil and Water Conservation Districts. The sessions cover current topics in agriculture, providing attendees with valuable insights to enhance their operations.
“You can be a first-time visitor or a seasoned attendee, but the Fort Wayne Farm Show offers something for everyone,” said a Tradexpos spokesperson. “From the variety of exhibitors to the seminars and networking opportunities, the expo is designed to provide real-time value to the agricultural community.”
The show also supports youth programs through the Indiana FFA Scholarship Foundation. Fundraising auctions featuring donated items will take place at 1 p.m. on both Tuesday and Wednesday, giving attendees the chance to support local students pursuing agricultural education.
