This week I’ll do something I’ve done every year since 1976 and that is go to the Farm Progress Show.
I never imagined when I visited the Shelby & Johnson farms in Greenfield, Indiana that I was beginning an annual pilgrimage that would still be taking place today. I can still remember how amazed I was to see “Tent City” for the first time. Now, 32 years later, although I’m less amazed, I’m still impressed to see a town rise up in a field and attract thousands of people for three days!
The Farm Progress Show had already been around quite awhile by the time I attended the 1976 show. It actually started in 1953 as a one day event in Armstrong, Illinois. Prairie Farmer had hoped for 10,000 people to attend and when a crowd of about 30,000 showed up, it was off to great start. The show expanded to two days in 1955 and then to three days in 1960. The show rotated between Illinois and Indiana until 1959 when Iowa was added to the rotation.
