Farm Credit renews Agri-Center support

Oct 2, 2009 10:45 AM

Farm Credit institutions has renewed its support of the International Agri-Center, home of the world’s largest annual farm equipment and agriculture technology exposition.

Farm Credit has a long history of supporting the center in Tulare, Calif. Last year the Tulare Dairy Center was renamed the Farm Credit Dairy Center.

The 80,000-square-foot dairy center houses hundreds of dairy exhibits during the annual World Ag Expo and is the most highly-trafficked area of the ground. The Farm Credit Dairy Center is also the home to many other large-scale events at the International Agri-Center during the year.

"Farm Credit West and the other participating Farm Credit System institutions have been supporters of the Agri-Center for many years and are pleased to be able to continue our support for the Farm Credit Dairy Center," says Ken Graff, president and CEO of Farm Credit West.

"Dairy is an important commodity in California, the nation and the Farm Credit System. We are extremely proud to have the Farm Credit name associated with this showcase for dairy innovation and technology."

“The Farm Credit Dairy Center is a critical component of the International Agri-Center and one of the largest permanent structures on the grounds,” says Jerry Sinift, CEO of the International Agri-Center. “It is the epicenter for dairy innovations at World Ag Expo.”
