If you missed going to the National Farm Machinery Show at Louisville, Ky., you’ve got a much closer opportunity to see the latest in ag technology — especially dairy tech — at the New York Farm Show in Syracuse. The Northeast’s largest show takes over the New York. State Fairgrounds on Syracuse’s west edge Feb. 22, 23 and 24.
The show hosts more than 400 exhibitors displaying the latest in farm equipment, tractors, combines and farm implements; seed and crop protection products; farm supplies and services; dairy and beef production, and woodlot and related industry supplies. Every major brand of tractor, grain and haying equipment, tillage and planting tool, even robotic dairy equipment will be on hand.
Check out over 30 new products set to debut at the farm show. Of course, that’s just a few of the new products on display from companies responding to our query.
All of it is jammed into six huge heated buildings. Buses will shuttle you from parking to all the buildings and back to parking.
This show draws more of these products to its exhibit floors than any other East Coast winter show. For a full list of exhibits and NYFS locations, visit newyorkfarmshow.com.
