The North American Manure Expo was created to showcase research, innovation and solutions found within manure management. The event brings manure haulers, applicators, brokers, nutrient management specialists, researchers, producers, manufacturers, custom operators and Extension personnel together for the two-day event. Ohio Farm Bureau and local members will host a booth. In addition, Nationwide’s confined space manure pit simulator will be on hand for safety demonstrations.

Since it was first held in 2001, the expo has grown steadily, reaching a record attendance of more than 1,200 attendees last year. The expo will return to Ohio for the first time since 2016 and visit the Fulton County Fairgrounds in Wauseon.

Attendees can take advantage of tours, more than 16 educational sessions, live agitation, solid-spreader, liquid application and safety demonstrations, an extensive trade show, networking and more.
