Ault Farms Brings Fulton County Agriculture to the Indiana State Fair Spotlight

Ault Farms Brings Fulton County Agriculture to the Indiana State Fair Spotlight

FULTON COUNTY, Ind. — Ault Farms Inc. is putting Fulton County agriculture in the spotlight Sunday as the Indiana State Fair’s featured farm of the day, offering fairgoers a closer look at the work behind two important parts of Indiana’s farm economy: row crops and beef production.

The farm is one of 15 operations selected for the 2026 Featured Farmers program, a partnership between the Indiana State Fair and Indianapolis-based Corteva Agriscience. The program is designed to introduce visitors to the families and businesses responsible for producing food and agricultural products across the state.

A Fulton County farm in the fair spotlight

Ault Farms Inc. is listed as a row-crop and beef operation, representing the broad mix of agricultural businesses that continues to define rural Indiana. While the fair’s public listing does not provide a detailed company history, its selection places a Fulton County producer alongside farm families from every region of the state.

The Featured Farmers program highlights a different operation during each fair day. On Saturday, Washington County’s Morning Harvest Produce was recognized for its lettuce, leafy greens, herbs and salad kits. Ault Farms follows as the featured operation for Sunday, Aug. 23, the final day of this year’s fair.

Connecting Hoosiers with the people behind their food

The program’s central purpose is education as much as promotion. According to the Indiana State Fair Commission, visitors can meet featured farmers and learn more about the time, skill and commitment required to grow food and raise livestock in Indiana.

That personal connection matters in a state where agriculture remains closely tied to local communities and the broader economy. A trip through the fair’s agricultural exhibits gives families an opportunity to see how familiar products begin — from crops grown in Indiana fields to beef raised by Hoosier farm operations.

A final-day opportunity at the State Fair

The 2026 Indiana State Fair runs through Sunday, Aug. 23, at the Indiana State Fairgrounds and Event Center in Indianapolis. The fairgrounds are located at 1202 E. 38th St., and the Featured Farmers program is presented in the Glass Barn.

For Fulton County residents, Ault Farms’ recognition offers a chance to see a local agricultural operation represented on one of the state’s largest public stages. For visitors from central Indiana and beyond, it is a reminder that the state’s food system is powered by farm families and businesses working in communities far beyond the Indianapolis fairgrounds.

The Indiana State Fair’s 2026 Featured Farmers lineup was announced by the Indiana State Fair and Corteva Agriscience, with additional details published by Inside INdiana Business, Hoosier Ag Today and the official Indiana State Fair website.
