Max Armstrong shares some thoughts on the National Western Stock Show which was canceled two years ago, and it was limited last year. But for the 117th edition, the event is back in a big way. Max quotes Paul Andrews who reports that the event had the highest opening day of all time, almost 60,000 people. Max shares more insights on the big show which now features more than 900 exhibitors and nearly 13,000 animals would be on display.

Max Armstrong's 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.
