The Tulsa Farm Show is quickly approaching its 32nd year, and Scott Guttormson of Midwest Farm Shows reflected on how far the event has come. When told it was hard to believe the show had reached its 32nd edition, Guttormson agreed, saying, “Wow, yeah, it goes by fast, doesn’t it.” He emphasized the consistency of the event’s location, noting that they have been able to stay in the same facility for all 32 years.
Guttormson praised the venue—now called the SageNet Center—for its suitability and long-standing presence at the Tulsa Fairgrounds. He explained, “This building is probably most suited for any facility that we use… it’s an ideal Event Center for a farm show, and we’re lucky and proud to use it.” He also reminded attendees that “parking is free and admission is free,” describing the show as accessible, easy to navigate, and structured so visitors can accomplish a lot in one trip.
A key distinguishing feature of the Tulsa Farm Show is its strong focus on livestock producers. While the event includes major farm equipment displays, Guttormson noted its unique appeal to cattle and horse owners, saying, “This show is definitely geared heavily towards folks that have livestock… it’s an ideal opportunity for people to see new equipment and find out what’s latest and most efficient.” He emphasized that the show helps producers stay updated on advancements in livestock handling and related technologies.
Guttormson also highlighted several long-standing traditions, including the continued support of Oklahoma Farm Bureau. “We’re very fortunate to have them on board with us… they’re a key cog and a very important part of this event,” he said. Another popular tradition is the series of horse-training demonstrations by renowned trainer Craig Cameron, held twice daily throughout the show. In addition, daily cattle-handling demonstrations will once again be part of the program.
Attendees can plan their visit in advance through the show’s online interactive map and schedule. Guttormson encouraged visitors to explore the digital tools, saying, “If you go to TulsaFarmShow.com you can navigate our interactive floor plan… find out who’s here and where they’re located, and it might save you a few steps.” With its long history, extensive exhibits, and strong support from Oklahoma’s agricultural community, the 32nd Tulsa Farm Show remains a major December tradition at the Tulsa Fairgrounds.
