Farm Progress Show Kicks Off This Week

Organizers are expecting another big turnout for the Super Bowl of Agiculture.

 

The event in Boone, Iowa this year is expected to be a full show site which is somewhat unexpected according to Events Manager for Penton Farm Progress, Matt Jungmann. He says it won't be as big as 2014, but it will be a full show.

 

 

Jungmann indicates there will be more production introductions than the typical year. Companies from Case IH to Kinze to Challenger will be unveiling products.

 

 

The live demonstrations are a big part of the Farm Progress Show experience and while getting those demo fields prepped and ready before the show is stressful, Jungmann says everything is coming together nicely.

 

 

Jungmann says this year's show includes just short of 5-hundred acres of show space including the annexed area and then 150 acres of parking space with 360-acres of field demonstrations.

 

He adds Decatur's show is a little bigger after last year's expansion.

 

The show runs Tuesaday through Thursday this week. Be sure to tune in to The Big 1520 AM/92.3 FM WHOW and online at dewittdailynews.com for live coverage from the event from 12:20 to 2 pm each day of the show.
