NORTHEAST WIS. – A springtime tradition for generations of farmers returns to America’s Dairyland in one month. The 63rd Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) Farm Show will take place April 1-3 at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) grounds in Oshkosh.
“We can’t wait to welcome visitors from around the country to this springtime tradition that’s supported generations of farmers,” said Rob Juneau, WPS Farm Show manager. “Wisconsin farms are essential to feeding people around the world and to helping our communities remain strong. We’re proud to host the WPS Farm Show once again to help connect farmers with the latest innovations that can help them succeed for decades to come.”
WPS hosts the WPS Farm Show each year as part of its commitment to support farmers and help them grow their operations. Approximately 20,000 people are expected to attend to get an up-close look at the latest innovations farmers can use to improve efficiency on their farms.
WPS is providing even more innovations at this year’s event to help farms of all sizes. A second exhibitor tent will be set up on the EAA grounds, adding nearly 30 exhibitors and dozens of new products and services to the WPS Farm Show.
In total, this year’s WPS Farm Show will include more than 400 exhibitors from across the U.S., Canada and Denmark. Their booths will feature a wide variety of helpful items, including animal nutrition products, large farm machinery, precision planting technology and robotic milking equipment.
As the WPS Farm Show grows, so is the interest from new exhibitors to be part of the event. There are 66 exhibitors making their first appearance at this year’s show. They will be showcasing dozens of new innovations, including animal health solutions, multi-purpose farm machinery, seed handling equipment and soil health products.
WPS has hosted the WPS Farm Show since 1961 to support farmers across the Upper Midwest. The show connects farmers — from small family farms to large dairy operations — with exhibitors that can help their farms continue to grow and thrive.
The event also provides farmers with an annual opportunity to speak with WPS about their farm’s energy use. WPS Farm Show attendees can visit the WPS booth in Hangar A to see modern farm wiring displays and learn tips on using energy efficiently on farms. WPS agricultural consultants will be available throughout the show to answer questions, discuss energy needs and share strategies to manage energy use on farms.
Visitors to this year’s show also can check out:
• The WPS Farm Show Food Tent, featuring state nonprofit groups selling dishes and treats.
The WPS Farm Show takes place 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday, April 1 and Wednesday, April 2, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, April 3. Admission to the event is free.
