Voices from 2025 Farm Progress Show

Brian Mackey/Illinois Public Media
Farm Progress is an annual trade show that bills itself as “the nation’s largest outdoor farm show.” It alternates locations every year. In even numbered years, the event is held in Boone, Iowa. During odd numbered years, it's in Decatur, Illinois.
The show features the latest in farm machinery — tractors, combines, trailers, drones, dryers, seed, fertilizer, and financial products. Brian Mackey visited the show this year and offers a sampling of some of the people who make Farm Progress what it is —both exhibitors and attendees.
