A springtime tradition for generations of farmers returns to America’s Dairyland in one month. The 63rd Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) Farm Show will take place April 1-3 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 to get an up-close look at the latest innovations farmers can use to improve efficiency on their farms.
New space for new innovations
WPS is providing even more solutions at this year’s event to help farms of all sizes. A second exhibitor tent will be set up on the EAA grounds, adding nearly 30 exhibitors and dozens of new products and services to the WPS Farm Show.
In total, this year’s WPS Farm Show will include more than 400 exhibitors from across the U.S., Canada and Denmark. Their booths will feature a wide variety of helpful items, including animal nutrition products, large farm machinery, precision planting technology and robotic milking equipment.
Farm Show facts
WPS has hosted the WPS Farm Show since 1961 to support farmers across the Upper Midwest. The show connects farmers — from small family farms to large dairy operations — with exhibitors that can help their farms continue to grow and thrive. The event also gives WPS employees the chance to meet with farmers and share options that can help them use energy safely and efficiently on their farms.
