The largest farm equipment show in the Northeast is back for its 38th year in Syracuse on Feb. 23-25. The New York Farm Show continues to grow, and this year it will add thirty new products and eighteen new exhibitors to maximize 300,000 square feet across six heated buildings.
Over 400 exhibitors will display the latest in farm equipment, tractors, combines and farm implements; seed and crop protection products; farm supplies, dairy and beef productions, woodlot, and related industry supplies. It is no surprise this show is referred to as “Indoors & Outstanding.”
“We’re so happy to be back in full swing this year with more products, more exhibitors and new events for the ag audience,” says Scott Grigor, show manager for the New York Farm Show. “We expect more people to walk through our doors this year due to the slowing of the pandemic, and excited for our annual Toy Tractor Auction and the new Ride & Drive event with Solectrac!”
The New York Farm Show, hosted by American Agriculturist and Northeast Equipment Dealers Association, was established in 1985 and is the sister show to the Farm Progress Show, the largest outdoor farm equipment show in the U.S., and Husker Harvest Days, the largest outdoor irrigated farm show in the world.
Showcasing several must-see products and featuring a list of valuable seminars and workshops, its goal is to provide farmers with the tools to reach greater productivity and profitability. This year’s show highlights include:
New Products & Exhibitors
Thirty new products will be on display including the latest technologies in tractors, planters, sprayers, and other precision-agriculture tools. Stop by the Dairy Building to see new products in robotic milking systems, beef handling equipment and take a picture with “Brisket,” the larger-than-life blow-up beef steer. Everyone’s favorite food, the “hot beef sundae” will be sold daily starting at 11am until sold out.
Educational Seminars & Workshops
The event will include a full line of educational sessions from the New York Beef Producers and New York Forest Owners Association.
New Event – Ride & Drive sponsored by Solectrac
Solectrac will be displaying their latest compact electric tractors – the e25g – that help provide a more sustainable agricultural future and still do everything you expect from a 25hp tractor. See their tractors up close in the Horticulture building (space B2) and take one for a ride indoors to get the ultimate hands-on experience. To find out more about Solectrac, visit www.solectrac.com.
