One of the favorite farmer must see events during the Farm Progress Show is the Harvest Demonstrations. All of the new combines and technology is on display in a real corn field.
The Farm Progress Show is also the event where many manufacturers and companies unveil new products and have the latest equipment available on display with senior company representatives to explain new innovations.
The Farms.com will be exhibiting in the Varied Industries tent at booth number VIT9405.
“We always have a terrific time at the Farm Progress Show,” says Andrew Bawden, Manager with Farms.com. “This is one of the best farm shows for a number of reasons, all of the major companies exhibit with many of their best displays and people combine that with the large number of farmers from across the world attend and you have a winning combination.
