Greater Peoria Farm Show 2026: an indoor equipment stop before the next growing season
Peoria offers Midwest producers a December opportunity to compare machinery and agricultural services before committing to next season’s plans.
December 1–3, 2026 · Peoria, IL · Midwest Shows
The Greater Peoria Farm Show takes place December 1–3, 2026 at the Peoria Civic Center in Illinois. The Midwest Shows event combines agricultural exhibits with education and offers free admission and parking.
Start with the work the farm needs done
Winter equipment conversations are most useful when they begin with a specific field operation. Consider the acreage, available operators, implement compatibility and service arrangements involved in the decision.
Use supplier appointments to compare realistic operating needs. A machine specification becomes more meaningful when it is tied to the time available to complete a job.
Education alongside the exhibits
The organizer’s 2026 announcement includes University of Illinois Extension seminars and Illinois Department of Agriculture pesticide licence testing. Check the current session details before building those activities into your visit.
The interactive floor plan can help producers identify relevant equipment and service suppliers before arriving at the Civic Center.
Three days in Peoria
Show hours are 9 a.m.–4 p.m. on December 1 and 2, then 9 a.m.–3 p.m. on December 3.
Bring notes on the existing fleet and request written follow-up information for shortlisted products. That makes the show a starting point for a considered equipment decision rather than a collection of unrelated brochures.
