We can see how much the offering of demonstrations, new product launches and exciting features at the show is delivering what famers want in an outdoor farm show.”

Along with equipment demonstrations featuring the latest technology such as autonomous machinery, high-speed tillage equipment, state-of-the-art sprayers, drones and more, AgTech was also a highlight of the show.
