Welcome to the 2026 Midwest Ag Expo Welcome to the 2026 Midwest Ag Expo. We are excited to have you join us Jan. 21–22 for two full days celebrating agriculture, community and the people who make this industry strong. For more than 30 years, the Midwest Ag Expo has been a place where farmers, ranchers and ag professionals come together to learn, Applegate connect and share ideas. This year is no different. From the exhibitors on the show floor to the sponsored free breakfast Thursday morning, everything at the expo is designed with you in mind. We encourage you to take your time exploring the exhibits, visiting with vendors, and enjoy all 175,000 square feet of farm exhibits. Ask questions,
make new connections and enjoy the opportunity to learn something new that you can take back home with you. Thank you for being part of the Midwest Ag Expo. Your support and
participation are what make this event possible, and we are grateful you chose to spend your time with us. We hope you have an enjoyable, informative and rewarding experience.

TOOL
SWEEP
TWO NEW items to take some of the DREAD out of grainbin cleanout. Boost a Sweep attachment bolts to the back shield on carry in sweeps extending the height of shield to provide added auger coverage, increase grain conveying capacity, and minimize falling grain overtopping sweep. Boost a Slide is a portable tool to simplify opening most any undamaged sump slide/rod pulls on round grain bins. Sump slides can be stuck shut from fi nes, dirt, friction, or weight of grain. With an almost 7 to 1 mechan ical advantage, this tool adjusts both width and depth wise to match most sump controls by PUSHING tool top toward bin sidewall.
