Join Minnesota Corn at MN Ag Expo 2026
Registration is open for this winter’s edition of MN Ag Expo, the annual event hosted by the Minnesota Corn Growers Association (MCGA) and Minnesota Soybean Growers Association (MSGA). This year’s event is set for Jan. 20-21 at the Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center in Mankato.
Farmers can register here for the free event. Online registration is encouraged to ensure enough boxed lunches are available for all attendees. Complimentary lunches will be provided on both days. MN Ag Expo features a trade show, educational sessions, networking opportunities, keynote speakers, research presentations, and more. For the first time since moving to the civic center more than a decade ago, the trade show will expand into the event center’s hockey arena—adding 100 new booths.
MSGA will hold its annual meeting on Jan. 20, while MCGA will host its resolutions session and annual meeting on Jan. 21. A welcome reception for attendees and exhibitors will take place the evening of Jan. 19.
John Harrington—longtime Minnesota State University, Mankato women’s hockey coach and member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team— will headline the dinner keynote on Jan. 20. Professional speaker Steve Fredlund will deliver the lunch keynote on Jan. 21.
Attendees planning to stay overnight are encouraged to book lodging early. Several Mankato hotels offer discounted MN Ag Expo rates.
