Delaware Agriculture Week will be held in Harrington at the Delaware State Fairgrounds from January 9-12, 2017. Delaware “Ag Week” is in its 12th year and is an ongoing collaboration between University of Delaware Cooperative Extension, Delaware State University Cooperative Extension and the Delaware Department of Agriculture.

Delaware Ag Week provides useful and timely information to the agricultural community and industry through educational meetings and events. In addition, it is a great time for networking and fellowship with old and new acquaintances.

The associated trade show will take place in the Dover Building from Monday afternoon, January 9 to Thursday January 12.
