(St. Joseph, Mo.) The Midland Empire Ag and Rural Lifestyle Show returned to the St. Joseph Civic Arena for its 36th year.
Filled with vendors, tractors and a variety of farm equipment, the show drew crowds from across the Midwest, eager to explore farming necessities.
Organizers described the event as a fun and engaging opportunity for people to connect, share experiences and bond over agriculture, one of the most important career paths in the Midwest.
Event organizer Cindy Cornelius shared her thoughts.
“I think people are ready to get out of the house. We’re kind of stuck inside, and with the weather getting warmer, it’s nice to get out. I love putting on this show. It’s great to see these people, I only see these sellers once a year, and many of them have been with me for years.
Cornelius added that the farm show will return next year.
