Attendance was expected to at least match last year’s 75,000, and perhaps, surpass the figure. With programs ana tours to equipment demon strations and great food to eat, the university’s College of Agriculture managed to entertain, if not inform. The educational programs had a lot of offer, while a survey of the equipment offered a view of the state of the art in agriculture today. For those who missed it, Ag Progress Days combined artifacts, equipment and products into a heady mixture of past, present and future. It was truly an event worth repeating, and one that shouldn’t be missed by those who make up the world of agriculture.
