The Iowa Ag Expo began in 1910 when it was known as the Iowa Power Farming Show. In 2020, the show was renamed to better reflect the evolution of agriculture and the ag show space. At one time, only ag equipment companies were allowed to exhibit at the Iowa Ag Expo. Now, the show includes the expansion of all ag-related products. Owned and managed by the Iowa-Nebraska Equipment Dealers Association (INEDA), the Iowa Ag Expo’s name change also reflects the show’s commitment to providing the best attendee and exhibitor experience possible.
