Even if you don't bring your own vehicle, wagons will continue to rotate throughout the Tour site for attendees.

📋 Everyone is encouraged to pre-register to help us prepare for the event. Don't forget to check in at the registration tent when you arrive to receive your tour program and meal token.

We look forward to seeing you for a day filled with the latest agricultural research, field demonstrations, equipment, and networking with producers and industry professionals from across the region!
