JOIN US AT THE 11TH ANNUAL GREAT BEND FARM, RANCH AND HEMP EXPO APRIL 7-9, 2022

One of the largest farm shows in the United States takes place in the spring at Great Bend’s Expo Complex.

Show Manager Darren Dale says the show spreads over 80 acres, with exhibitors from all over the United States, Canada and Australia.

“Great Bend is one-of-a-kind,” Dale said. “You have pride in the community and you have pride in this show – and it really shows. My wife Tana and I are committed to Great Bend for many years to come.”

It takes about 300 volunteers to pull off this three-day event. These folks make sure the exhibitors have what they need, assist with parking and perform other duties.

The Farm, Ranch and Hemp Expo is a great place to check out the latest farm and ranch equipment, but the show is also a venue for entertainment and educational demonstrations. Each year is different.

Some highlights for the Expo include horse training demonstrations, the Great American Tractor Showdown, K-State Research & Extension presentations, low-stress cattle handling, health screenings and a wheat demo field day. The show also highlights industrial hemp components.

A variety of concessions and a beer garden will be available as well.

Great Bend welcomes everyone to the show. Motels fill up, so, if you’re planning an overnight trip during the next Great Bend Farm, Ranch and Hemp Expo, be sure to book ahead.
