More information will be available as the show date nears, and work is already underway to pull together a virtual farm show experi- ence unlike any other. “We’re not asking farmers to just sit by their com- puters, everything we’re producing will work on your smart phone and tablet, so in the heat of harvest when you’re spending long hours on auto-steering, you can see what we have to offer,” Jungmann said.

Telegraph staff reports ST. CHARLES, Ill. — Two major farm shows are off the calendar for 2020, to fill this gap Farm Progress is launching the first ever Farm Progress Virtual Experience, or FPVX. This information-packed event will be powered by Farm Progress Show and Husker Harvest Days and run three days, Sept. 15 to 17, accord- ing to a press release. “The beauty of a virtu- al event is that we will open the virtual gates on Sept. 15 with a slate of field demos and rich content, but once live farmers can engage the
content all year long,” said Don Tourte, senior vice president, Farm Progress. “With this event the farmer can virtually stroll through more than 500 exhibits in their own time, and each exhibitor will have valu- able new information to share.” The rich information available in the FPVX will allow farmers to engage a range of content. And searching the exhibitors will be easy because they’ll be sorted into the familiar cat- egories farmers have long come to know through more than 65 years of taking part in Farm Progress events.
