The National Farm Machinery Show launched its 60th show at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Ky. From Feb. 11-14, the world's largest indoor farm trade show will welcome around 300,000 visitors to experience the latest farming technology, new-to-market equipment, and groundbreaking agricultural ideas all under one roof.
"Every year is an important year for the National Farm Machinery Show as we bring the best in the field together," said David S. Beck, president and CEO of Kentucky Venues. "Reaching a milestone like the 60th anniversary is a powerful reminder of the show's legacy and a chance to honor the generations of farmers, innovators and partners who helped build the show, while continuing to look ahead at what's next for the future of agriculture."
During the event, an international crowd browsed sold-out exhibit halls showcasing brands such as AGCO, Case IH, John Deere, Massey Ferguson and New Holland. In addition to expansive equipment displays, attendees took advantage of free daily educational seminars led by industry experts offering insight into the best farming and production practices. Visitors also shopped from nearly 50 retail vendors at the Gift & Craft Market, selling clothes, keepsakes, souvenirs and more.
In tandem with the farm show, the 57th Championship Tractor Pull sponsored by Farm Credit Mid-America returned to Freedom Hall for five sessions. Approxmiately 200 drivers from across the United States and Canada competed during the high-octane, heart-pounding sessions.
