After 12 years, the Great Bend Farm Ranch and Hemp Expo is no more. The Bird City-based Star Enterprises that owns the show is moving it to Hutchinson, starting next year. Named the Kansas Ag Expo at Hutchinson, it is set for March 30 through April 1, 2023. According to a link to the show on Star Enterprises’ website, “The Kansas Ag Expo 2023 is dubbed as the largest farm event in the United States dedicated to promoting agricultural technology.” “This is bittersweet,” said Tana Dale, who runs Star Enterprises with her husband Darren. “Great Bend has been good to us for several years.” However, “it was time to make the switch,” she said. “It was one of the things that had to be done to keep going.”
