“We are excited to host this signature event and connect farmers with the latest innovations that can help their farms succeed for years to come,” said Rob Juneau, manager of the WPS Farm Show. “Each year, the WPS Farm Show helps support an industry that’s a vital piece of our state’s economy and legacy.”
This year’s show will feature 400 exhibitors from across the United States and Canada filling four hangars and two exhibitor tents at the Experimental Aircraft Association grounds. Products on display include large farm machinery, animal nutrition solutions, precision agriculture technology and robotic milking equipment.
Organizers say 33 exhibitors are making their first appearance this year, showcasing new products such as crop health solutions, drone technology, livestock feed mixers and precision mapping tools.
The WPS Farm Show has been held since 1961, providing farmers — from small family operations to large dairy farms — opportunities to explore equipment and services aimed at improving efficiency and long-term growth.
Attendees can also visit the renovated WPS booth in Hangar A to learn about modern farm electrical systems and speak with agricultural consultants about energy safety and efficiency.
