How did the Manure Expo get started?
Beginning in 2001, the University of Wisconsin was approached by several custom manure applicators from around the region requesting a show that provides a side-by-side comparison of agitation and application equipment to help determine which best meets individual needs. From this request, the first show was born in August of 2001 near Prairie Du Sac, Wisconsin.
The first event proved to be a huge success. Due to the proven interest in the show, applicators from Minnesota and Wisconsin asked for a second show. In 2003 the second show was an even bigger success than the first with more than 700 participants. The growing attendance indicated that a need was being met and that expansion was the next step.
In an effort to expand impact around the region the decision was made to turn the Manure Expo into a traveling show.
The Manure Expo has been held in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, Pennsylvania, and Nebraska.
The 2012 theme, "Professional Application" will be addressed throughout the show from educational seminars, to exhibitor booths, to field demonstrations. The great exhibitor areas not only provide ample space and good roads but also an opportunity to connect with individuals from the Midwest. Attendees will appreciate the free admission that includes access to educational seminars, in-field demonstrations and exhibitor booths.
Join the quality, innovation, and expertise that will be exhibited at the North American Manure Expo, August 22 2012!
