Max Armstrong shares a unique feature of the 2019 Farm Progress Show tiling demonstration targeted at the farmers who do their own tiling. This year’s demos show what happens when a farmer hits a natural gas pipeline. A tragedy in 2018, where a tiling crew hit a gas line causing an explosion, is the driver of the demonstration. The “strike” will show what happens and the aim is to make the event as realistic as possible. The demo happens each day at 1 p.m.

Farm Progress America is a daily look at key issues in agriculture. It is produced and presented by Max Armstrong, veteran farm broadcaster and host of This Week in Agribusiness.
