"We are expecting over 400 vendors from 20 States, Canada and Australia. The McCook Farm & Ranch Expo is the place to find all your livestock and farming needs. We have shopping for everyone in the family! And, if you’re in the market for new Fenoglio Boots or an American Cowboy hat, the expo is the place to be!”

Once again Star Expo’s are leading the field in technology as we are excited to be adding hemp components to our shows. Agriculture has been waiting a long time for this opportunity. Hemp production will allow producers to diversify their farming programs and create new markets. The benefits of hemp to the ag industry are massive for the future of agriculture. Commodity Exchanges are being created for both industrial and medical hemp products giving buyers, sellers and traders the place and tools to trade.    

Exhibitors include numerous cutting edge displays for farm and ranch equipment, seed and chemicals, agricultural services, irrigation manufacturers, financial providers, commodity organizations, colleges, governmental services, home services, furniture and art galleries, boutiques, hats, boots, and much more. There truly will be something for everyone.
