The 30th Annual AG EXPO will be held January 20 & 21, at the IKE Hamilton Expo Center, 501 Mane Street, in West Monroe, LA. The event will be open from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.

Hosted by the North Louisiana Agri-Business Council, AG EXPO is unique in the Louisiana, south Arkansas, east Texas and Mississippi area. This premier event is attended annually by 10,000 to 12,000 people from the region.

AG EXPO provides a means to educate the public on the many ways agriculture touches daily lives, from explaining the food chain to the multiple uses of agricultural products. It introduces advances in technology and science being made for efficiencies in growing, harvesting and marketing all kinds of commodities. The event also provides a unique opportunity for the agri-business community to display products and services. It is an event the entire family enjoys.

AG EXPO is a combination of several events tied into one venue, which assures wide appeal. There is an educational "ag alley" including a mini farm that targets youth but is enjoyed by all ages; a junior livestock show, a miniature cow show, a trade show, and an Agricultural Awards & Legislative Appreciation Luncheon which recognizes regional agricultural leaders and legislators.
