Maybe three days isn’t long enough to visit the more than 1,400 exhibitors at the World Ag Expo. They take up more than 2.6 million square feet at the International Agri-Center in Tulare.

The annual event drew 106,000 people last year. In 2017, the 50th anniversary, it looked to equal if not better that mark.

GV Wire visited the extravaganza and talked with a two companies, one local and one from out of state, to get their perspectives on why they are there.
