(Radio Iowa) – The grounds of the Farm Progress Show near Boone are quiet today (Friday) after three days of demonstrations, machinery displays and everything about agriculture. The 2020 show was canceled by the pandemic making it the first time in four years that the exhibitors and visitors came to Boone Show spokesperson, Don Tormey, who says attendance numbers appeared to be good.

The show rotates between Boone and Dekalb, Illinois every other year. Tormey says people turn out in both places.

Tormey says they are already planning the next Farm Progress Show in Decatur next year and the show returns to Iowa again in 2024.
