Agronomy Zone Coming to the Farm Progress Show

This is Lorie Boyer for the Ag Information Network. Planning is well underway for the 2026 Farm Progress Show. This year's event features a new agronomy zone. Farm Progress Show Director Matt Jungmann has details on what attendees can expect.

“For almost 75 years, we've done a great job of allowing exhibiting companies to demonstrate combines, tillage tools, the things that happen out in the field demonstrations, and what the Agronomy Zone does is allows the companies that make inputs, whether that's seed or crop protection or fertility, plant those crops, do the applications of their products, and then have the standing corn or the soybeans, or whatever they wanted to grow. They gave us a prescription, and we hired a professional agronomist to care for them and tend them through the summer, so that their exhibit is all laid out with growing crop right where they want it. And I was actually within the last week, I was in Boone, taking a look at that, and it was, it was in fantastic shape.”

In addition, the Farm Progress Show is known for its live machinery demonstrations, crop technology exhibits, and hundreds of agricultural exhibitors. This year's show will take place September 1 through the third in Boone, Iowa. For more information and for tickets, log on to farmsprogressshow.com. I'm Lorrie Boyer for the Ag Information Network.
