There are several opportunities to learn while you’re having fun at the Fair. Many exhibits are hands on, and all are included free with your fair admission.
Agricultural Equipment on Display
Nightly LIVE Milking Demonstration – 7:00 pm
New this year, and located between Barn “A” and “B”, you will find farms tractors, a planter, a combine, and more on this self-guided tour. This display of working farm equipment will compare older, small “conventional till” equipment with some larger, modern “no till” machinery. The emphasis is on improvements in technology that has allowed farming to become more Earth friendly, using less fossil fuel with lower emissions, and cutting erosion losses to bring the highest quality of food to the American consumer. Be sure you stop by this exhibit on your way to the LIVE Milking Demonstration that will be held in the Milk Parlor of Barn “B” each evening at 7 pm.
