Tulare, CA – The Farm Credit Dairy Center, a long-standing venue at the International Agri-Center®, will now be known as the Farm Credit Dairy and Livestock Center. The name change reflects the facility’s growing role as a year-round event facility for a variety of equestrian and livestock events, in addition to its use during the annual World Ag Expo®.
The new name reflects the International Agri-Center’s dedication to serving the broader agricultural community. From equestrian to major dairy and livestock shows such as the California Youth Ag Expo, where over 500 young participants from across the state come together, the venue has become a premier facility for livestock events in the region.
During World Ag Expo®, the largest annual outdoor agricultural exposition, the renamed Farm Credit Dairy and Livestock Center aims to reach new exhibitors and attendees by representing a broader range of animal agriculture to include all areas of livestock.
“The name change highlights the facility’s importance as a premier venue for events of all kinds throughout the year,” said Jerry Sinift, CEO of the International Agri-Center®. “It’s a more accurate reflection of the activity that takes place within the facility, and our desire to welcome new exhibitors to World Ag Expo.”
Farm Credit has been the proud sponsor of the building and has held naming rights for nearly two decades. As a network of cooperatives supporting rural communities and agriculture with reliable, consistent credit and financial services, Farm Credit’s partnership has helped the International Agri-Center® provide a premier venue for agricultural education and events.
