The 21st Annual Oklahoma City Farm Show, featuring the latest in agricultural machinery, equipment, technology, and services, is set for April 3-5, 2025, at the OKC Fairgrounds. This year’s event will showcase more than 1,000 products and services from hundreds of exhibitors, filling both the indoor Bennett Event Center and the outdoor exhibition area directly in front of it. Admission to the show is free, and ample free parking is available at the OKC Fairgrounds complex.
Senior Farm and Ranch Broadcaster Ron Hays caught up with show manager Penny Swank to talk about the event. “We like the Bennett Event Center,” Swank said. “The building is set up perfect for us because there are huge doors to get big tractors in. There is a lot of big farm equipment out there now, and we can get it all inside here.”
This year, the 279,000 square foot building is full with 94 new companies added this year. In addition to over 150,000 square feet of agricultural and ranching exhibits, the show will offer a variety of activities and amenities. Complimentary coffee and rolls will be served each morning until 10:00 AM, thanks to Purple Wave Auctions.
Early attendees can also enter the daily $1,000 Showbucks prize drawing, sponsored by Great Plains Kubota. The drawing, which takes place at 1:00 PM each day, allows winners to use the Showbucks as cash for purchases from exhibitors. Sign up for the drawing at the Great Plains Kubota booth.
Educational opportunities are also a highlight of the event. The OSU Extension seminars will take place Thursday and Friday in the Seminar Conference Room (NE area of the Bennett Event Center).
