Welcome from the Show Manager

Welcome to Ag Progress Days!

We're pleased to have you as our guest and we hope the events on the grounds of the show and the content you'll find on this website will be educational and helpful to you. We are thrilled to connect again in person for the 2026 show, scheduled for Aug. 11-13.  On Thursday, the show will end at 3:00 p.m. to allow our exhibitors additional tear-down time. We are committed to our support of the agricultural community and to host a safe show experience for attendees, exhibitors and staff. 

The economy and weather events continue to present serious challenges to our agricultural producers, our food supply chains, our businesses, our livelihoods, and our health. As Pennsylvania's land-grant university, it is our mission to help our state's farmers, families, and communities navigate these challenges.

• Along with Penn State Extension, we continue to provide opportunities to learn in a virtual format as well as feature Exhibitors at the show with an enhanced exhibitor profile from our Interactive Map. This is where you can connect with our commercial exhibitors to learn about the goods and services they offer and reach out before and during the show to company representatives.
• Visit the Penn State Extension Website for current information on best practices and new research.  

We look forward to connecting in-person again at the Ag Progress Days show grounds, so don't forget to mark Aug. 11-13, 2026, on your calendar for next year's event!

Respectfully,

Jesse M. Darlington
