While the holidays are upon us, it’s not too early to start making your plans for Syracuse in late February.

The farmer’s megamall, New York Farm Show, returns Feb. 20-22 to the New York State Fairgrounds. Whatever you need to improve your farm, you’ll find it at the Northeast’s largest indoor farm equipment show.

Here are some quick highlights:

  • Dozens of new products will be revealed at this year’s show. We will be revealing those in the next few weeks. Last year’s show introduced more than 40 new products, including a spray drone, the T8088 Ag Bagger from RCI and more.

  • More than 400 exhibitors, including new exhibitors from across the country, will showcase their products and services.

  • Educational seminars on forestry will focus this year on carbon programs.

  • Tickets are just $5 at the door.

  • Free parking with shuttle bus service running daily is available to each exhibit building.

  • Show hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

  • A new website is live with new and improved resources for exhibitors and visitors. Visit newyorkfarmshow.com and check it out.

  • Visit the American Agriculturist booth in the Horticultural Building to take part in our daily opinion poll. Get yourself in the running for a special prize, just by filling out a quick survey.

About the Author

Chris Torres

Editor, American Agriculturist

Chris Torres, editor of American Agriculturist, previously worked at Lancaster Farming, where he started in 2006 as a staff writer and later became regional editor. Torres is a seven-time winner of the Keystone Press Awards, handed out by the Pennsylvania Press Association, and he is a Pennsylvania State University graduate.

Torres says he wants American Agriculturist to be farmers' "go-to product, continuing the legacy and high standard (former American Agriculturist editor) John Vogel has set." Torres succeeds Vogel, who retired after 47 years with Farm Progress and its related publications.

"The news business is a challenging job," Torres says. "It makes you think outside your small box, and you have to formulate what the reader wants to see from the overall product. It's rewarding to see a nice product in the end."

Torres' family is based in Lebanon County, Pa. His wife grew up on a small farm in Berks County, Pa., where they raised corn, soybeans, feeder cattle and more. Torres and his wife are parents to three young boys.
