The annual Penn State Ag Progress Days, Pennsylvania’s largest outdoor agricultural exposition, will be held August 16-18 in Pennsylvania Furnace, Centre County.

Ag Progress Days features the latest in agricultural technology and farm conservation, and research exhibits, educational programs, and guided tours.

Sponsored by Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences, the event is held at the Russell E. Larson Agricultural Research Center at Rock Springs, nine miles southwest of State College, PA, and is one of only three agricultural exhibitions in the country sponsored by a major University.

With close to 500 exhibitors from 34 states and 4 provinces of Canada, we have something for everyone.

Each year, farming families from across Pennsylvania and surrounding states attend this three-day event.

Of the 45,000 expected attendees, over 60 percent are actively engaged in agriculture or related professions.

Come and learn about the latest innovations in the agricultural industry and farm conservation and spend your day with Penn State Extension educators.

Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on August 16; 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on August 17; and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on August 18. Admission and parking are free.
