Farm Progress show opens in Decatur

The Farm Progress Show returned to Illinois today (Tuesday).  The curtain was raised this morning in Decatur.  There's acres of farm machinery and related displays spread over several acres in Macon County.

94.1 WGFA is there.  Ag broadcaster John Gooding will provide reports the next three days. 

Show promoter Matt Jungmann says 90% of the event will be held outdoors. Those entering an indoor exhibit will be asked to wear a mask.  Jungmann says there will be plenty to see and do with last year’s show not in person due to COVID.

“There will be introductions of new equipment (Tuesday), but at the same time there have been unveils over the course of the last 18 months, but folks haven’t been able to see those in person,” said Jungmann.

The Farm Progress Show runs through Thursday.
