Eastern Washington Ag Expo

Eastern Washington Ag Expo

Eastern Washington Ag Expo. I'm Greg Martin with Washington Ag Today.

It used to be the Pasco Ag Show, then it was the Real Ag Show. Now, Madi Clark with Ag Association Management says they've decided to make another change.

CLARK: This year we just felt that it was kind of the year to make the changes that needed to be changed. We still really are the Pasco Ag Show but we're starting to look at it, we're the Eastern Washington Ag Expo. We take in a lot of eastern Washington and even eastern Oregon; that irrigated ag sector and even into the drylands areas so we wanted to hit everywhere including just around Pasco.

In addition to rebranding the show, Clark says they are upping their game.

CLARK: In terms of offering a better program. So this year, we've always offered pesticide credits and we'll continue to do that with Spanish and English but this year we've also added a seminar program and we'll have a farm management session, a labor and technology session. A representative from John Deere will be joining us. Then we'll have a transportation and energy session and also a water and weather panel.

The show runs January 5th and 6th, 2016, at the TRAC Center in Pasco, WA. Clark says they still have some space for vendors as well.

CLARK: We added more booths this year so we are really excited, a little bit more floor space so we're trying to get that to fill up as fast as possible. We're welcoming back returning exhibitors and even a few new exhibitors so we're excited to have them and all extra information can be found on www.easternwaagexpo.com.

And that's Washington Ag Today. I'm Greg Martin, thanks for listening on the Ag Information Network of the West.
