Nation's Largest Outdoor Farm Show Next Month

According to their website, the Farm Progress Show is the nation's largest outdoor farm event annually, hosting over 600 exhibitors from around the world. This year, the annual Farm Progress Show will be held August 27 - 29th in Boone, Iowa. National Events Director, Matt Youngman says the event attracts around 160,000 attendees each year, connecting farmers, ranchers and businesses.

“There's everything it takes to run a Midwest farm, whether that is, you know, equipment, machinery, seed, all those kinds of things. And then there's kind of the stuff that crosses over into rural land ownership or the hunting and fishing type thing. So it's a real big event for this year specifically, is going to be a huge event for side by sides and UTVs.”

The show will also offer health and well being screenings, as well as harvest demonstrations to support farmers and their needs.

“Since 1953 we've been having field demonstrations, actually running the machine side by side, and excited about this year, because the corn was all in the ground by April 12, and we've been getting plenty of heat so that corn is going to be in great shape for harvesting. So everything's on board for the traditional harvesting demonstrations and tillage demonstrations, and the cutting edge stuff is going to be on display too more”
