A springtime tradition is ready to return. Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) will welcome tens of thousands of farmers, exhibitors and visitors to its 61st WPS Farm Show March 28-30 on the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) grounds in Oshkosh.
The WPS Farm Show provides farmers with an annual, up-close look at the latest innovations and products that can help them improve their farms’ efficiency. 20,000 people from the Upper Midwest are expected to attend during the three-day event. This year’s show will feature nearly 400 exhibitors from across the United States and Canada, displaying large farm machinery, precision planting technology, robotic milking systems and hundreds of additional products.
Helping farmers in the heartland for six decades
WPS has hosted the WPS Farm Show for more than 60 years to support farmers throughout its service area. The springtime showcase connects farmers — from small family farms to large dairy operations — with exhibitors whose products can help farms of all sizes grow. It also allows WPS employees to meet with farmers and talk with them about using energy safely and efficiently on their farms.
