World Ag Expo’s 80,000-square-foot dairy pavilion at the International Agri-Center in Tulare, Calif., has a new name: the Farm Credit Dairy Center.
The new name reflects the support and dedication of the region’s Farm Credit Associations for the world’s largest agricultural exposition, World Ag Expo said Nov. 19.
Formerly known as the Tulare Dairy Center, the pavilion houses hundreds of dairy exhibits during the annual Expo each February. It’s the most highly trafficked area of the grounds by show attendees.
“With the dairy industry being the single largest commodity in California, this is a perfect way to show our dedication to dairying and the largest showcase of dairy innovation and technology,” said Edward Jones, vice president of Farm Credit West.
Participating sponsors in the Farm Credit Dairy Center naming include: Farm Credit West, American AgCredit, Yosemite Farm Credit, CoBank/Farm Credit Leasing, Fresno Madera Farm Credit, Sacramento Valley Farm Credit, Farm Credit Services Southwest, Northwest Farm Credit Services, Farm Credit Services of America, Northern California Farm Credit, and Federal Land Bank Association of Kingsburg.
The 2008 World Ag Expo will be held Feb. 12-14 at the International Agri-Center in Tulare .
This year, the Expo will expand to 2.6 million square feet with the addition of the Dairy Technology Center and surrounding outdoor dairy exhibits. For more information visit www.worldagexpo.com or call 800-999-9186.
