The top ten AG products in the world were chosen from over 60 submissions, each on display in Tulare.
"I think all farmers are realizing that AI and automation are really going be the key to this next generation of farming," says Brett Goodwin, Carbon Robotics.
From a self-driving tractor that can run day and night, extending operating hours, to farming robots, over 1,200 exhibitors span the 2.6 million square feet of show space.
About 100,000 people are expected to attend the international event, representing over 70 countries.
This year's theme, "Grounds for innovation," celebrates progress in new technologies that solve critical challenges for farmers.
"Where are we when it comes to technology being a part of agriculture? I think it's here, but I think it expands every year more and more," says Jerry Sinift, International Agri-Center CEO.
The laser weeder G2 uses AI, lasers and computer vision to determine what's a weed and what's a crop, so it can zap the weeds.

"What this does is eliminate 80% of their weed control costs. It doesn't require labor. It eliminates the need for herbicides, and it doesn't disturb the soil. You get the cost savings for weed control and an increase in yield quality and consistency in your crop," says Goodwin.
Carbon Robotics introduced the world's first laser weeder at the expo in 2022, and it has since evolved and is now used worldwide.
"There are over 175 laser weeders on over 100 different crops in 15 countries," says Goodwin.
Tulare County, an Ag powerhouse, made for a perfect location for the show's backdrop.
The international expo was drawing President Trump's attention, and he addressed the Valley event directly from the Oval Office.
"A very special hello to everyone gathered in California for the 2026 World AG Expo. The men and women are the heart and soul of America. You built America, and you fed America," says President Trump.
"Tulare County is always number 1 or 2 every year in farm production and across the nation. This is where it happens right here," says Sinift.
With the wet weather in the forecast, organizers say the show will go on rain or shine.
