World Ag Expo Pictures: 1968

A few pictures of the 1968 World Ag Expo held in Tulare, California.

Purpose for my trip in February was to see the latest lettuce planting & growing machinery.

After attending the show...for the next week or so I toured all the vegetable growing areas from Salinas South to San Diego. About 2000 plus miles on my rented car. 


World Ag Expo is the largest outdoor agricultural exposition. Each year it is held at the International Agri-Center in Tulare, California, in the United States during the second week of February. It has officially been designated by the U.S. Department of Commerce as an affiliate of the Foreign Buyer Program, which encourages exportation of American made goods. Prior to its 2001 rename, the event was titled "California Farm Equipment Show and International Exposition."

The show started in 1968 and was attended by 28,000 people. It outgrew its original home and moved to its current permanent location, the International Agri-Center, in 1982 where it occupies 2.6 million square feet.
