For the first time in its six-decade history, Wisconsin's largest outdoor farm show will not be hosted by a local county committee. But coordinators of Wisconsin Farm Technology Days say plans are coming together nicely for the event, which is slated to be held at the Badger Steam and Gas Engine Club grounds between Wisconsin Dells and Baraboo next summer.
General Manager Arnie Jennerman says exhibitor sign-up is ahead of pace compared to other years, with over 150 vendors and organizations already committed to the exposition.
"The plan is really far along to have a fun, interesting, educational, and diverse show that highlights the wide range of agriculture and industry in Sauk County," Jennerman said. "There will be something for everyone, and we're excited to showcase Sauk County industry and agriculture as well as the latest in ag technology."
Among the highlights will be six tours of different local farms and companies, as well as a wide variety of things to eat from area food trucks that will be on the grounds to offer their specialties. Some of the other traditional features will be back next year, such as Innovation Square, Ag Youth Adventure Area, and a full equine exhibit.
Meanwhile, there will still be a need for volunteers to make the show happen. As in the past, non-profit organizations can earn money for their causes by volunteering with a group before and during the show to take care of parking, admissions and serving food and beverages.
The dates for next year's Wisconsin Farm Technology Days will be July 18-20.
