MAGIE Show Is Turning 40!
About one week ago, I got the most wonderful news! The 2021 edition of the Midwest AG Industries Exposition (MAGIE) will happen August 25-26 in Bloomington, IL!!
And as wonderful as this news is – from the standpoint that in-person events are finally making a comeback in the post-pandemic world – this year’s MAGIE also marks a special occasion for the summer show for ag retailers: It’s been 40 years since the first MAGIE show took place.
“Over the last 40 years, the MAGIE show has grown exponentially and has come a long way since the inaugural show at the airport in Danville, IL,” says Kevin “K.J.” Johnson, the interim President of show sponsor the Illinois Fertilizer and Chemical Association (IFCA). “MAGIE has been and will continue to be dedicated and focused on supporting the ag input industry.”
For myself, I remember attending one of those early MAGIE shows in Danville back in 2001. That event took place just after the terrible events of 9/11, so the general mood of the show was a bit reserved. Despite this, however, it was impressive to be able to see the numerous suppliers that cater to the ag retail marketplace gathered in one place, putting their best foot (and products) forward for attendees to see.
