(FORT WAYNE) - The Fort Wayne Farm Show is back this week, bringing farmers, ag businesses, and industry leaders together for three days of exhibits, education, and networking. The 37th annual indoor farm show runs Tuesday, January 13th - Thursday, January 15th at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum. Organizers say the event is designed to serve livestock producers, row-crop farmers, and others working in agriculture across northeast Indiana, southern Michigan, and northwest Ohio. More than 1,000 exhibitors are taking part this year, showcasing new equipment, technology, and services aimed at improving farm efficiency and productivity. Educational seminars are also scheduled throughout the show, with presentations led by Purdue Cooperative Extension and regional soil and water conservation districts. Topics focus on current challenges facing farmers and practical solutions for today's operations. Organizers say the show draws both longtime attendees and first-time visitors, offering a chance to learn, compare products, and connect with others in the ag community. The event also supports future farmers through fundraising for the Indiana FFA Scholarship Foundation. Auctions benefiting student scholarships are planned Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. The Fort Wayne Farm Show has grown into one of the region's largest agricultural events since its start nearly four decades ago, reflecting the continued importance of farming to Indiana's economy and rural communities.

Show hours:

Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
