“Every year we work hard to come up with new ways to improve the overall show experience,” said Tom Junge, show director. “This year, we are excited to be hosting an Ag Innovation Pitch Competition at the show on Wednesday.”
Attendees at this year’s show will experience several upgrades to facilities, including improved parking and better cellular coverage, to enhance the show experience.
