The 73rd annual Mid-South Farm and Gin Show opens its doors Feb. 28 – Mar. 1, 2025, at the Renasant Convention Center in Memphis, TN. The annual event features U.S. and international exhibitors displaying new equipment, machinery, technologies, and multiple products and services for cotton and other major Mid-South crops.
“Once again, we’ll have more than 300 exhibitors in this year’s show, including 75 new exhibitors that are bringing new products and services to market – often in a new way of doing things,” says Tim Price, Show Manager and Executive Vice President of show sponsor Southern Cotton Ginners Association.
“In addition to three entire floors of exhibits, attendees can attend educational seminars on key issues. “Our bottom line is we’re a free educational exhibit,” adds Price, “and we try to cover topics that are really on people’s minds.”
The traditional Ag Update seminars held each day of the show will feature market outlooks for cotton and grains, as well as rice marketing. The Feb. 28 seminar features the annual cotton outlook by Joe Nicosia of Louis Dreyfus Company, and Richard Brock of Brock Associates highlights the Mar. 1 outlook session on grains and economic policies. Both sessions begin at 8:30 a.m.
The Mid-South Agricultural Trade Conference also returns on Feb. 28, focusing on ways the U.S. can move forward in terms of production and delivery in the face of multiple challenges throughout the ag industry.
“This show is always shaped by the events happening in the industry and, to a large degree, by the companies, exhibits, and presentations at the show,” says Price. “We try to put together a show that’s good for these times and also for planning ahead, grounded in farmer-to-farmer and farmer-to-ag business contact and highlighted with thoughtful presentations in a family friendly environment.”
Show hours for the Mid-South Farm and Gin Show are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Feb. 28 and 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Mar. 1. Pre-registration is available — and encouraged — by visiting FarmandGinShow.com. There is no cost for registration.
