Without a doubt, the Big Iron Farm and Construction Show is the premier event that connects buyers and sellers in both agriculture and construction. Since its inception in 1980, it has grown from a farm equipment show to an international venue showcasing the latest innovations in farming equipment and technology. In 2024, construction was added, expanding the show to highlight cutting-edge construction equipment, technology, and services alongside agriculture.
