The 58th Annual World Ag Expo took place from February 11th – 13th, 2025 at the International Agri-Center in Tulare, California. The theme for this year’s 3-day event was “Paving the Way for Ag and Technology”. Recognized as the world’s largest annual agricultural exposition, the show featured over 1,200 exhibitors unveiling cutting edge technology and equipment across 2.6 million square feet of exhibit space. The expo attracted around 100,000 attendees from 49 states and over 70 countries. This provided the perfect platform for networking, education, and business opportunities in the agricultural sector.
A highlight of the expo was the announcement of the Top-10 New Products for 2025, selected by a panel of farmers, ranchers, and industry professionals. These innovators, ranging from simple solutions to advanced technologies, were prominently showcased throughout the event. Along with these awards, two high school students were highlighted as recipients of individual $10,000 scholarships, which have been awarded since 2007 to select students who plan to attend a four-year college or university to major in an agricultural field. These types of recognitions demonstrate the expo’s support for agriculture, and continued dedication to our youth and product innovators, who make up our future leaders in the agricultural industry.
In addition to the exhibitions, the World Ag Expo offered various attractions, including educational seminars, live demonstrations, and agricultural tours. Attendees had the opportunity to explore the latest advancements in agriculture, engage with industry experts, and experience a diverse array of food options provided by over 30 non-profit food vendors. Such a large event also had a significant economic impact on the local community, with local businesses experiencing increased patronage during the week.
LS Tractor was proud to showcase a dozen tractors at the World Ag Expo, showing all of our models from 22HP all the way up to 101HP. LS Tractor spanned booths P37 and P39, where it was a pleasure for employees and dealers to connect with the agriculture community visiting the show. Representatives from the following three California dealerships were present at the LS booths:
• Pete and Sons (Dinuba, California)
• Wholesale Equipment (Fresno, California)
• Tan Oak Tractor Sales (Paso Robles, California)
Visitors were curious to find out more about their local LS dealers, where LS Tractors are made, how long they have been around, and the applicable implements we carry. Customers appreciated having dealers present to discuss pricing on models and to learn about the exclusive show discounts.
California continues to be a great location for this annual event as it produces a variety of at least 350 crops, which help feed our entire nation. Policy makers, farmers, and innovative technology are all part of the agriculture industry, and they must work together to produce and distribute the food we eat. As the industry evolves, events like the World Ag Expo are vital to fostering innovation and educating the next generation of agricultural leaders. LS Tractor is a proud contributor to the agricultural industry, and we look forward to joining the World Ag Expo again in February of 2026.
