Field demonstrations return to Farm Progress Show

The field demonstrations are one of the biggest attractions to Farm Progress Show each year but it has been two years since they have happened.

National events director Matt Jungmann says early on he was a little worried the field demonstrations might not happen again this year.  “I watched those rains come through early on,” he says.  “But fortunately our host farmers did a great job getting the crops in.  All the corn was in by Tax Day and as long as nothing flooded out we were going to be in good shape.  And as long as we had good heat.  And we were able to get a normal amount of heat units through the summer like we haven’t the last two and it put everything right on pace.”

In fact, Jungmann says the fields are in perfect condition for harvest this year.

The field demonstrations begin at 11am every morning of the show.
