CALLING FOR CELEBRATION OF MODERN AG ON THE NATIONAL MALL PARTICIPANTS

AEM is gearing up to fill the National Mall for the third year in a row with the latest in off-road equipment.

The second Celebration of Modern Ag on the National Mall will take place Monday, May 6 – Wednesday, May 8 between the Smithsonian Museums in the heart of Washington, DC.

The 2024 theme of Sustainable Supply Chain aims to highlight the benefits of today’s agricultural equipment technology along with gains achieved by producers, agri-business, food processors, and retailers. AEM is striving to have the full spectrum of agricultural equipment represented, including livestock, specialty and row crops.

“We are taking lessons from the inaugural Ag and CE events to make 2024 the best yet,” said AEM Senior Vice President Curt Blades. “Showcasing the sustainability of our food system on the National Mall is an unparalleled opportunity to influence regulations and legislation.”

Contact AEM Senior Director of Regulatory Affairs Nick Tindall at ntindall@aem.org or 202-701-4287 to reserve your place on the National Mall, or to learn more.
