What is said to be the largest commercial exhibition on the planet opens Tuesday in Tulare. And the 2008 World Ag Expo will be larger than ever, with a new high in the number of companies exhibiting.
An additional 100,000 square feet of exhibit space has been added for this year’s three-day show, increasing overall space to 2.6 million square feet.
A large number of exhibits will be of agriculture equipment that is on the cutting edge of technology, Ag Expo says.
The expo has selected ten exhibitors for special mention.
One of those is PineCreek Precision of Kendrick, Idaho, which is selling its Unmanned Air System, described as a hand launched plane that contains an autopilot that flies along a preprogrammed flight path, which is set up in advance of the flight to take high resolution images in color and near infrared. The software processes and stitches the color and NIR images together to show a complete field. The resulting images can be imported into analysis software. All of the images are georeferenced so the farmer can precisely determine where to use fertilizer, chemicals, pesticides, and water.
Gates will open at 8 a.m., an hour earlier than usual. The show closes Tuesday and Wednesday at 5 p.m., at at 4 p.m. on Thursday.
