2002 Ag Expo Pictorial
Expo's 35-acre, main exhibition site was filled with displays highlighting the latest technology in farm equipment, products, services, and supplies. Added attractions at the site include animal power demonstrations by Tillers International, tractors dating back to the early 1900s by the Mid- Michigan old Gas Tractor Association, daily family living demonstrations and much more.
Attractions included MSU's "education row", a cluster of exhibits at the west end of the show site representing departments from the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Representatives were on-hand to answer questions about animal health care, farm security, beneficial effects of soil quality, gardening display, farm business software, etc.
Whether watching a variety of daily demonstrations or checking out the latest in farm equipment, MSU's Ag Expo was the place to be. Ag Expo Web Site
