Nebraska Ag Expo 2026: precision technology gets a focused place in Lincoln
An Innovation Hub and the AgTalks program put emerging farm technology alongside established equipment suppliers.
December 8–10, 2026 · Lincoln, NE · Iowa-Nebraska Equipment Dealers Association
Nebraska Ag Expo runs December 8–10, 2026 at the Sandhills Global Event Center in Lincoln, Nebraska. The event is organized by the Iowa-Nebraska Equipment Dealers Association.
Technology with a farm application
The organizer’s Innovation Hub covers areas such as robotics, drones, precision agriculture and automation. Its 2026 featured exhibitors include TerraClear, StrongBo and InnerPlant.
For a producer, the important comparison is the task being improved. Ask how a proposed system measures results, what existing equipment it needs and who will support its use after installation.
Education to inform the comparison
The published AgTalks program includes a December 8 session on thermal and multispectral drone technologies. December 10 listings include weather and drought review and agricultural economics.
These topics can help frame a machinery discussion, but a general presentation cannot establish performance on a particular farm. Request evidence relevant to your crops, terrain and operating practices.
Organize the exhibition days
Hours are 9 a.m.–4 p.m. on December 8 and 9, and 9 a.m.–3 p.m. on December 10. Use the exhibitor directory to balance established equipment appointments with time in the Innovation Hub.
The best follow-up is a defined trial with a clear baseline, data requirements and a person responsible for evaluating the result.
