Farm Progress Show Prepares for September Return

Organizers say the Agronomy Zone gives exhibitors a chance to showcase crop protection and fertility products in the field.

BOONE, Iowa (RFD News) — Planning is already underway for this year’s Farm Progress Show.

Organizer Matt Jungmann told AgInfo.net the show has spent nearly 75 years showcasing equipment through field demonstrations.

“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.”

This year, Jungmann says attendees will also have the opportunity to connect with key input vendors through the Agronomy Zone.

“What the Agronomy Zone does is that it 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.”

The Farm Progress Show is scheduled for Sept. 1 through 3.
