Oshkosh — Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) is ready to welcome farmers from across Wisconsin back to a springtime tradition that continues to help them succeed and thrive. The WPS Farm Show returns in one month, taking place March 24-26 at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) grounds in Oshkosh.
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 and check out the latest products and innovations that can help farmers improve the efficiency of their farms.
Big space, big chances to see new innovations
This year’s WPS Farm Show will feature hundreds of the latest advancements in agriculture from businesses across North America. Visitors can get an up-close look at hundreds of products packed into four hangars and two exhibitor tents on the EAA grounds. Farmers also can visit the renovated WPS booth in Hangar A to see the latest electrical systems that can help farms use energy safely and efficiently.
One location, hundreds of new solutions
A total of 400 exhibitors from the United States and Canada will attend this year’s WPS Farm Show. They will be displaying a wide variety of innovations, including animal nutrition products, crop and plant health innovations, large farm machinery, precision planting equipment, and robotic milking systems.
Springtime tradition supporting farmers for more than 60 years
WPS first began hosting the WPS Farm Show in 1961. Each year, the show supports farms of all sizes — from small family farms to large dairy operations — by connecting farmers with exhibitors whose products can help their farms continue to grow and thrive. The event also allows WPS employees to meet with farmers and share options that can help them improve their farm’s energy efficiency.
