The Kenny Norton Southeast Iowa Farm Show returns to Fairfield Arts & Convention Center Saturday, February 26th from 9 am to 3 pm. Admission to the Farm Show is free and open to the public.

Now in its seventh year, the show has become one of Iowa’s top ag expos, featuring the latest in machinery, seed technology, grain handling, and more. Sponsors and exhibitors in agri-businesses throughout Southeast Iowa will be showcasing their latest technology and making connections with the community. Lunch will be available for purchase from 11 am to 2 pm, served up by the Jefferson County Beef Producers, and there will be activities for children and families throughout the day.

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig is scheduled to speak at 12 pm on the current state of agriculture in Iowa and what the industry can expect in the future. Secretary Naig’s presentation is also free and open to the public.

“It’s really important to us to be able to showcase Southeast Iowa business like this,” says Fairfield Arts & Convention Director Lindsay Bauer. “Fairfield has this amazing backbone in the ag industry and getting to partner and support local leaders this way is great.”

The Farm Show will be followed by a performance by country music icon Wade Hayes at 7:30 pm that evening. Tickets to the Wade Hayes concert are $18-$39 and are available to purchase at fairfieldacc.com or by calling the Box Office at (641) 472-2787.
