It's one of the biggest events of it's kind anywhere.

 

Tens of thousands of farmers will visit…drawn to 2.6 million square feet of exhibit space.

 

There’s a new pavilion new plant-nutrients…emphasis on organic...

 

“This is all non GMO its produced with soy,” said Kim Miller with Grower’s Secret.

 

“Plants the nutrients they need like people need, said Jeff Reimche with Nutrient Technologies.

 

The expo is in its 46th year and Supreme International from Canada, has been to just about all of them.

 

“We’re the first company to build vertical mixers.well when mixers started they were horizontal,”
 said Kevin Graham with Supreme International.

 

The farm show hasn't even begun and the company has sold its first piece machinery...to a  farm right here in the valley.

 

If you plan to go, the hours for the expo are from 9am-5pm Tuesday and Wednesday, and 9am-4pm on Thursday.

 

General Admission is $12.
