NAAA thanks the many companies that support ag pilots and their operations, as well as the industry, through donating items for the Live and Silent Auctions at the NAAA Ag Aviation Expo. The money raised from these items supports NAAA programs.

All are welcome to enjoy the auction and food and beverages sponsored by Syngenta. The Silent Auction, in booth #1307, will be open on the NAAA Trade Show floor during Trade Show hours and until 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 20. Bid early and often on the text bidding system!

Text Bidding

We’re excited to offer text bidding for the Silent Auction this year. Beginning Sunday, Nov. 17 at 12 p.m. ET, text NAAA to 71760 or for international, text NAAA to +1 (720) 408-2243 from your mobile device and follow the directions to bid. Text bidding allows you to set an auto bid (let the system bid for you up to a certain amount) while you walk the NAAA Trade Show Floor or attend sessions and if you can't make it to the Ag Aviation Expo this year, you can bid while at home. If you win an item from home, please have a friend pick up your item or you can have it shipped from T3 Expo (details will be available in November). The system will also text you when you've been outbid. For questions onsite, please visit the Silent Auction booth #1307. For questions in advance of the show, email naaaexpo@agaviation.org. Bid early and often!
