Eastern Nebraska Corn and Soybean Expo
Thursday, January 22, 2026
University of Nebraska Eastern Nebraska Research, Extension, and Education Center near Mead, Nebraska
We are into our 3rd year of combining the Fremont Corn Expo and the Nebraska Soybean Day & Machinery Expo into one expo...the Eastern Nebraska Corn and Soybean Expo. The expo will focus on both crops and will rotate between Saunders and Dodge County locations each year.
The 2026 expo will take place on Thursday, January 22, 2026 near Mead, Nebraska at the Eastern Nebraska Research, Extension, and Education Center (ENREEC) located at 1071 County Road G, Ithaca, NE 68033.
The program will kick off at 8:30 a.m. and will finish up at 3:00 p.m.
The event opens with coffee, doughnuts, and the opportunity to view equipment and exhibitor booths at 8:30 a.m. Speakers start at 9:00 a.m.
Aaron Nygren, Nebraska extension educator says, “The Eastern Nebraska Corn and Soybean Expo will assist producers in planning for next year's growing season. We hope you come and learn from a variety of speakers and vendors about important topics for corn and soybean production in 2026.”
This program is sponsored by Nebraska Extension in the university's Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, the Nebraska Soybean Board, and the Nebraska Corn Board.
Updates will also be provided by the Nebraska Corn Board, Nebraska Soybean Board, Nebraska Corn Growers Association and Nebraska Soybean Association.
Producers can visit with representatives from a variety of ag related companies during a 45-minute break in the morning.
Complimentary noon lunch will be served.
Registration is available the day of the expo at the door. For more information about the program or exhibitor information, call 402-624-8030 or e-mail anygren2@unl.edu. There is no registration fee.
Information for Exhibitors:
On behalf of Nebraska Extension, we invite you to support local corn and soybean growers through sponsoring and exhibiting at the 2026 Eastern Nebraska Corn & Soybean Expo.
Due to the change in venues, we will not have room for large equipment in the building. We will have limited space for small items (planter units, ATV’s, etc) inside plus room for additional large equipment (tractor, combine, trucks, etc.) parked outside. Exhibitor booths and equipment space are on a first-come basis determined by the arrival of a completed form.
All equipment exhibitors need to set-up on Wednesday, January 21, from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. All other exhibitors can setup between 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 21st or Thursday morning, January 22nd, from 7:00 – 8:15 a.m.
Exhibitors are encouraged to donate one large door prize that helps gain additional recognition for their business. The door prizes will be awarded at the conclusion of the program. Feel free to distribute smaller items such as hats and gloves from your booth.
