There’s not a lot of major national farm shows left that I haven’t attended at least once. They’re always a learning experience too. The National Farm Machinery Show has been no different. I didn’t even know who owned and operated the show. Now I do.

I met Amanda Storment, VP of Media & Public Relations for the Kentucky Fair & Exposition Center. She says the NFMS is actually owned and operated by the Kentucky State Fair Board which owns the facility. In fact, she says the show really grew out of the state fair when the equipment displays got so big that they were running out of room for them and the other fair activities. So now we’re at the end of the 42nd year of this show.

If you’d like to learn more about the NFMS then listen to my interview with Amanda here (7 min): nfms-07-storment.mp3
