Heading to Farm Progress Show

Cindy Zimmerman

2014-fpsNearly the entire ZimmComm team is on its way today to Boone, Iowa for the 2014 Farm Progress Show which starts tomorrow.

The largest outdoor farm show is bigger and better than ever and we are really looking forward to bringing you bigger and better coverage than ever before, thanks to our sponsors New Holland, FMC, GROWMARK, Ag Leader, John Deere and Bayer CropScience.

Our Hick Chick, Leah Guffey, talked with show manager Matt Jungmann last week to make sure everything was ready to go for the big show. “The streets have all been paved, everything is in good shape,” Matt says. “We added 13 streets when we were here last time, so now, like we did in Decatur last year, we’ve got the annex building just outside the main gate.”

Matt says it’s been cool this summer making field demos a bit of a challenge. “But we’re still confident that we’ve got a 60 acre field out there that’s going to be good enough to go,” he said. And don’t forget the Jerrod Niemann concert at the newly renovated ISU Harvester Plaza on Wednesday.

Admission for the show is $15 for adults and $8 for youngsters 13-17, and Matt says you can actually get tickets on-line, print them out and speed your way through the gate. Hope to see you there!
