For the first time, the Triumph of Ag Exposition will feature an award presented to a veteran in agriculture. According to the organizers, the 2022 show will provide an opportunity to recognize an outstanding farmer veteran who is dedicated to growing a successful farm operation as well as serving our country.
The Center for Rural Affairs will have a booth at the 55th annual expo, in Omaha, Nebraska, on March 2 and 3, 2022. Additionally, the Center will offer educational opportunities at the event, including sessions on farm to school and crop insurance.
This event welcomes a diverse array of farmers and ranchers who can look forward to accessing the trade show, visiting with peers and vendors, and taking part in educational sessions.
