NAAA will be exhibiting at Ag on the Mall, May 6-8, 2024, which offers the opportunity to educate policymakers and the public on the importance and environmental benefits of agricultural aviation. The event will take place on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., near the Smithsonian Metro stop between the Capitol building and the Washington Monument. 

 

Ag on the Mall is a celebration of modern agriculture that will feature nearly 30 exhibiting associations and companies from grower to applicator groups to ag equipment manufacturers. The event is being organized by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers and they have themed the event “The Future of Food & Farming.” Ag on the Mall will feature hands-on displays of modern equipment and technology for the public to learn how the latest ag equipment, crop inputs, data and technology work together to drive agriculture’s tradition of producing more with less. Key policymakers from the executive and legislative branches will be attending the events and exhibits as well.

 

NAAA is excited to have a Bell OH-58 helicopter and staff from Helicopter Applicators Inc. in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania thanks go Glenn Martin and his staff. The NAAA booth will also feature panels on the history of the industry, environmental benefit fact sheets and Flying For Your Food brochures. 

 

NAAA last participated in this event in March 2022 and spoke with the bypassing public and a multitude of policymakers, regulators, media members and everyday citizens, including Sens. John Boozman (R-Ark.) and Cindy Hyde-Sith (R-Miss.), EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs and EPA’s Office of Water.
