The event brings manure haulers, applicators, brokers, nutrient management specialists, researchers, producers, manufacturers, custom operators and extension personnel together for two days of learning, networking and evaluation of new technology, research, equipment and opportunities.
Over the two days we have tours, an industry trade show, live solid and liquid manure demonstrations and educational sessions.
The first morning of the Expo is dedicated to tours that showcase innovative manure solutions. Attendees can purchase tickets online or there may be room for walkups to one of the four tours:
