KANSAS CITY, Mo.—FFA

nation were in Kansas City recent
ly to attend the 67th annual
National FFA Convention.
An estimated record attendance

10th annual New York Farm Show
promises to be winter’s biggest
event for farmers.
The indoor farm show brings
some 400 agribusinesses to the New
York State Fairgrounds, Feb. 23-25.
Show hours Thursday through Sat
urday are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
TTie New York Farm Show is
one-stop-shopping at its best. Want
to know what’s new in milking
equipment and parlor design? The
New York Farm Show will show
you. Or have a question about tillage
equipment to meet your conserva
tion plan? Representatives from
major equipment manufacturers can
explain all there is to know about
“iron.” What about new computer
software for cropping, production
and accounting records? You’ll find
that, too, at New York Farm Show.
“New York Farm Show is a great
opportunity to see different manu
facturers and compare what they
have to offer,” said Scott Grigor,
farm show manager. “Farmers can
find out what’s coming up for the
next season —what’s the latest tech
nology, what’s happening in chemi
cals, equipment and services. It’s
one-stop shopping at its best.”
And if that isn’t enough to
prompt a late-winter trip to the Farm
Show, you surely won’t want to
miss the expanded conservation dis
play that includes The Choice Farm
