New equipment, new efficiencies, new excitement — same tradition of serving America’s Dairyland. A springtime tradition is back in one month with the return of the WPS Farm Show.
Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) will welcome tens of thousands of farmers and exhibitors to its 62nd WPS Farm Show, March 26-28 at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) grounds in Oshkosh.
Farm Show facts
The WPS Farm Show provides farmers with an up-close look at hundreds of innovations and products that can help their farms grow and be more efficient. A total of 20,000 people from the Upper Midwest are expected to attend during the three-day event. Nearly 400 exhibitors from across the United States and Canada will take part, displaying a wide variety of products such as robotic milking equipment, precision planting technology and large farm machinery.
Helping farmers in the heartland for six decades
WPS has hosted the WPS Farm Show since 1961 to support farmers. The springtime showcase connects farmers — from small family farms to large dairy operations — with exhibitors whose products can help their farms thrive and expand. It also allows WPS employees to meet with farmers and talk with them about using energy safely and efficiently on their farms.
