Dale Hoff expected good things when the International Crop Expo was launched 10 years ago at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota.
But the show — which combined three smaller annual farm events sponsored by small grain, potato and soybean groups — has surpassed those expectations.
“We’ve been pleasantly surprised. We know the potential was there. Things have worked out well,” says Hoff, president of K &D Enterprises in Crookston, Minnesota. He’s been associated with the expo from the beginning and serves as exhibit manager this year.
The 2011 Expo — themed “Beyond Our Agricultural Borders” — is set for 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 16 and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Feb. 17.
An estimated 175 to 200 companies will have exhibits at this year’s event.
Last year, 5,000 people attended. Organizers hope for comparable or better attendance this year.
