Western Farm Show has grown in size of machinery, scope of seminars

The manager of the Western Farm Show says the biggest change since the show began almost six decades ago is the size and price of the displayed machinery.

“I don’t think somebody like John Deere himself would ever imagine what we have today in the showroom at the ag dealerships or on the floor at most of the farm shows around the country,” Ken Dean told Brownfield Ag News.

The show has also changed in its scope of educational seminars. For the ninth year, Dean says Ron Gill of Texas A&M University will demonstrate low-stress cattle handling.

“What he is doing is giving you an opportunity to see firsthand how to work cattle in a low-stress environment for the cattle and for the livestock handler,” said Dean.

The 58th Annual Western Farm Show is February 22nd through the 24th at the American Royal Complex in Kansas City.
