Next week, the largest outdoor farm show will take place near Boone, Iowa.  Farm Progress Show will run from August 30th through September 1st.  Because of COVID, there hasn’t been a show in Boone since 2018, and show manager Matt Jungmann says there will be plenty to see from the 500 plus exhibitors.  Jungmann says planting was delayed this past spring, but he says attendees of the Farm Progress Show will see harvest demonstrations.  Admission to the Farm Progress Show is $20 at the gate and $15 if purchased on-line.  Jungmann suggests farmers plan their day by going to the Farm Progress Show website and become familiar with the exhibitor lay out.
