Hear From Our Attendees

Real People. Real Results.

Why Attend HayCon

Two days that pay for themselves.

Build Your Hay Network

Meet the producers, buyers, brokers, truckers and exporters who move hay across the country. HayCon puts the whole industry in one room for two days, so the conversations that usually take months of phone calls happen face to face.

Find New Customers

Walk away with real leads, not just business cards. Whether you grow, buy, haul or sell hay, HayCon connects you with serious operators who are looking for reliable partners for the season ahead.

Learn From Industry Leaders

Practical sessions on marketing, finance, leadership and ag technology from people who have built successful hay and farm businesses. No theory, just what is working right now and how to apply it to your operation.

Hands-On Baler School

Get hands-on training to maximise output and minimise downtime. Learn the setup, maintenance and troubleshooting tips that keep your balers running when it matters most.

See What's Next in Hay & Forage

Explore new equipment, products and innovations from 30+ vendors on the show floor. See baling, handling, stacking, tarping, irrigation and more, and talk directly with the people who build them.

Perfect Timing During NFR Week

HayCon takes place at Flamingo Las Vegas during NFR week, when the ag community is already in town. Combine two days of business with one of the biggest weeks in western agriculture.
