2023 National Farm Machinery Show

On February 18, I went to the Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, KY. From a very young age, I have attended the Farm Show with my family. My dad always enjoys talking to equipment and company salesman about their products in person. Every farmer wants the best for their farm, so the Farm Show is a great place see what equipment they like. This year, I was able to go to the farm show with my boyfriend and my family. I went to the Horsch booth and talked with my boss for my summer internship. I got to see a lot of Purdue Agronomy students there too! The Farm Show also has tractor pulls each evening. I went to the Saturday night Championship Pulls and watched several different pulling tractor models. My favorite part of the Farm Show was walking around to the large tractor booths and reading about the unique aspects of each tractor. Now that I have been to a few Farm Shows, I understand parts of the way a tractor operates. I was impressed by the amount of people there and its cool to see how far farmers travel to go to the Show. I hope that one day I will attend the farm show and actually be looking to buy my own equipment!
