The 2012 National Farm Machinery Show was almost a record setter. This was good news for the more than 850 companies exhibiting.

The 2012 National Farm Machinery Show was one of the most successful ever, with significant increases over the previous year in attendance and revenue. Despite a continually-challenging agriculture and economic climate, the 47th National Farm Machinery Show welcomed 305,512 visitors through the gates in four days, the third highest total in event history, shattering last year’s number of 302,424.

Early indications show revenue also increased. Sponsorship revenue increased 10.5 percent over last year, the largest increase since 2009 and exhibit space revenue nearly reached $4 million for the first time in the event’s 47 year history.
