The 2007 Four State Farm Show is off and running on a fast track. Set for July 20, 21 and 22, just south of Pittsburg, Kan., the area's premier agricultural event heads into its 33rd year with another huge show in the making. The 25-acre Farm Show site will over-flow with a vast array of farm equipment , seed, feed, agri-chemicals, livestock, farm buildings, grain and feed bins, livestock handling equipment , tires, tools, trailers and much more. The tremendous range of agriculturally-related goods and services annually provides farmers and stockmen with a unique opportunity to shop and compare in one location. With its reputation as a "selling" show, the Four State Farm Show has also become an economic opportunity as producers have come to rely on it as a place for special pricing and wide selection. "This show has provided a connection between farmers and the agribusiness's that provide the products farmers and ranchers need," explains Farm Show Coordinator Ted Gum. "This July 20, 21 and 22, that tradition will continue with plenty for area agricultural producers to come out and see." In addition to acre after acre of farm implements and other agricultural items, the Four State Farm Show is a great place to see equipment in action. New this year will be vertical mixer and bale processor demonstrations at 10 a.m., daily. Forage producers will have an opportunity to compare big round balers, mowers, rakes and other bale handling equipment operating under field conditions in the Show's Hay Demonstrations each afternoon at 1 p.m. Producers interested in the latest in precision agriculture technology will be able to experience operating a variety of GPS-based tools and equipment . There will also be a Riding Lawn Mower Test Driving Range which will give area farm and ranch families the opportunity to check out several makes and models. Farm Show visitors can tour Kansas State University's Roundup Ready Soybean Variety Performance Plots and a Short Season corn Hybrid Plot. K-State personnel will also be on hand to answer questions. Parking and admission are free at the Four State Farm Show. Show hours will be from 8 a.m., to 4 p.m., each day.
