📣 Important update: The Molly Caren Agricultural Center conditions are wet but open for business.

A reminder to visitors that the parking areas are mostly sod and this is not the year to drive your sports car or motorcycle to the show. We hope to see you at the show prepared for the weather.

The shuttles will continue to run to the Ag Innovation Demonstrations, Gwynne Conservation Area, and Grain Storage Facility. The drainage installation association, Ohio Land Contractors of America (OLICA) will be at the grain bins all three days. Look for the harvest and tillage equipment that would have participated in field demonstrations located in other areas around the show site.
