Country Legend Coming To Big Iron In Fargo North Dakota On September 11
The Big Iron Farm & Construction Show, a premier event in the world of agribusiness and rural living, is set to take place from September 10-12, 2024 in Fargo. Over three days, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a variety of learning and networking activities. This year promises to build on the event's storied history with an impressive lineup of demonstrations, exhibits, and sessions.
A Rich History of Growth and Innovation
The roots of the Big Iron Farm Show date back to 1980, when a small farm equipment show was first held in Casselton, North Dakota. With the aim of showcasing the latest in "big iron" farm machinery, the event quickly captured the interest of the agricultural community. The Red River Valley Fair Association moved the show to the sizable West Fargo Fairgrounds after a successful inaugural year. This move marked the beginning of its transformation into a major annual event.
Over the decades, the Big Iron Farm Show has grown exponentially. What began as a modest farm equipment exhibition has evolved into a comprehensive celebration of rural living, encompassing agribusiness, health, innovation, and technology. In 2023, the show attracted over 60,000 attendees from across the United States and several other countries, featuring more than 900 exhibit booths and numerous training sessions.
