What World Ag Expo Is
World Ag Expo is the largest annual agricultural show of its kind, run each February by the International Agri-Center in Tulare. It is a working trade show for farmers, dairymen, ranchers and the companies that sell to them: equipment, irrigation, livestock handling, crop technology and services, all laid out across 2.6 million square feet of exhibit space. The 2027 show is the 60th edition and runs February 9-11, 2027.
It is built for producers and ag professionals, but it is open to anyone with a ticket, and students, FFA members and families come for the demonstrations, the seminars and the food.
What You Can Do There
- Walk the exhibits. The 2026 show had 1,179 exhibitors, and the show regularly lists more than 1,200.
- Watch live demonstrations. Many exhibitors run equipment and technology demonstrations on site.
- Attend seminars and workshops. The 2026 program covered irrigation, dairy, livestock and professional development.
- See the Top-10 New Products. A contest recognizes ten new products each year, from simple fixes to technology-heavy tools.
- Visit special pavilions. The Tasting Room (wine and cheese) and the Women's Conference Pavilion are part of the show, along with agriculture tours and a National Anthem Contest.
- Apply for a scholarship. World Ag Expo and Coast Counties Peterbilt name "We Believe in Growing" scholarship winners at the show.
