FARGO, N.D. - The 47th NDAA Northern Ag Expo comes to the Fargodome in Fargo, N.D., on Nov. 28-29, signaling the start of the winter farm shows and meetings.
The free show runs from 8:30 a.m to 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday and 8:30 a.m to 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
The show is the run by the North Dakota Agricultural Association, whose members cover fertilizer, seed and crop protection providers, as well as related equipment and services. There are 200 exhibitors, which is about capacity, says Gary Knutson, NDAA executive director.
"It's kind of a good endorsement of the ag tech world that the innovations are fitting the needs," he says.
