Below average temperatures and plenty of sunshine overshadowed a Monday afternoon downpour that left three-and-a-half inches of rain on the grounds of Progress City in Decatur for the 2017 edition of the Farm Progress Show.
Organizers say the rain Monday afternoon left a few kinks in the plans of some for Monday, but once the sun came out Tuesday, it was smooth sailing.
That's Events Manager for Farm Progress, Matt Jungmann who says the show saw huge crowds, especially Wednesday with several dignitaries in town.
The 2017 Farm Progress Show was highlighted by the House Ag Committee listening session at Richland Community College Wednesday morning. Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue was in attendance of that session.
