Coming to the Farm Progress Show is plenty of fun, but efficiently finding what you need on the 100-acre exhibit field can be daunting. The Farm Progress Show team meets that need with theFarm Progress Show Application - or App - for Android and Apple smart phones.

The free application includes news updates, links to added resources and even a handy mapping tool for finding exhibitors. It's that last tool that can really pay off when you're trying to find just the right company or product. The smart phone tool offers quick links to top news from the Farm Progress Show website, and the handy search tools.

This year, the show has added the ability for notifications to go to your phone, alerting you to special events and hot items you might want to check out. It's an enhancement that can keep you informed during the show. You can even check the weather during the show - which this year is definitely dry!

You'll also find the complete daily schedule, which allows you to plan the day. In a single application you can manage your way around the entire show!

So head to the Google Play area to download the Android version, or the App Store for the iPhone to get that version. The apps are free. Or visit this quick link page to get to the show application.

The app is sponsored by Unverferth and by the Mycogen My Harvest Story contest.
