54th annual WPS Farm Show this week

The 54th annual WPS Farm Show is this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at the E.A.A. Grounds in Oshkosh. Like many shows, this was started by Wisconsin Public Service in 1960 in an effort to encourage and promote the use of electricity on the farm. Over the years the show has evolved….moved…and grown. Corey Kuchta is Ag Market Leader for WPS and he says the conditions at the E.A.A. Grounds have made it possible to expand the outside exhibits even more this year.
