2010 Top-10 New Products

Attendees' Choice Award added to Top-10

World Ag Expo show management announced, that they have added an attendees’ choice award to the 2010 Top-10 Contest. The five star rating system allows attendees to select the product that they believe most deserves the Attendees’ Choice accolades.

“Our committee selected 10 great products to receive Top-10 New Product awards,” said Bernie Cargle, 2010 World Ag Expo Chairman. “Now, it’s up to our attendees to decide which product deserves the attendees’ Choice.”

Pre-expo planners are invited to rate the products below by click on the number of stars your feel the product deserves. Votes will be tallied online before the expo and collected at the New Products pavilion during the expo. The product which receives the most votes will receive special acknowledgement after the expo when the votes are counted.

“This new addition to the Top-10 New Products Contest is really exciting,” said Cargle. “When the dust settles from the 2010 Expo we will know what one product was viewed by the attendees’ as the top product for 2010.”

A panel of agribusiness professionals from across the nation including farmers, ranchers and industry professionals selected the Top-10 New Products and 10 Honorable Mention Products from more than 70 entries. The Top-10 New Products will be showcased inside the New Product Pavilion on Expo Lane and R Street and will be toured on Feb. 8 during World Ag Expo’s Media Day. An estimated 100,000 attendees are expected to attend World Ag Expo, which is the largest annual exposition of its kind.
