2024 Equine Trade Shows & State Fairs Across America
The year 2024 looks to be a banner year for horse trade shows and other agricultural expositions throughout the U.S. With a bumper crop of farm equipment shows, county and state fairs, agricultural events, and farm industry association conventions and conferences, we’ve put together this 2024 farm and equine trade show schedule to help you plan your year.
Farmers, ranchers, livestock producers, and specialty crop growers can use the following calendar of ag events to help them connect with new customers as well as farm machinery dealers, feed and seed dealers, and specialists in the agricultural field. Dates and locations are current as of press time but are subject to change.
As ever, Sandhills Global will have a presence at many of the following horse trade shows and farm expos in 2024, but while you’re waiting for in-person ag events, explore EquineMarket, our online platform dedicated to horses for sale in all categories, breeds, and disciplines.
Marketplaces such as TractorHouse and AuctionTime bring buyers and sellers of agricultural equipment together, while SpecialtyCropEQ.com focuses on ag machinery for sale to vineyards, orchards, vegetable farms, and other specialized crop operations. LivestockMarket, meanwhile, offers a platform for selling cattle, hogs, poultry, sheep, and other farm animals for sale, as well as straw and hay.
