The word virtual is getting more attention than ever, but just what is a virtual farm show? Good question.

This week we're digging in to answer a lot of questions about something new – the Farm Progress Virtual Experience. This special online event, free to farmers, will fire up starting September 15 and run through September 17, but there's more.

We turned to Matt Jungmann, events manager, for Farm Progress to learn all the ins and outs of this new virtual event, including new ways to do field and product demonstrations that will be an eye opener for all who check in.
