Two of North America’s largest agricultural events will join forces in 2016.
Commodity Classic, a large grain industry conference that is owned by the American National Corn Growers’ Association, will begin a joint event with the Ag Connect Expo and Summit farm machinery and technology show owned by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers.
The first joint event will take place in New Orleans in early March 2016.
Commodity Classic brings together the American national corn, soybean and wheat producers’ groups for meetings, marketing seminars and a trade show.
Ag Connect has previously drawn several farm groups and industry associations to hold annual meetings in concert with its farm equipment event, including the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers and the U.S. custom harvesters group.
Both shows offered extensive agricultural education programs, and the groups say that will continue, with more details about what the joint event will look like becoming available in the coming months.
