New Venture for the National Farm Machinery Show

Dennis Slater, President of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, and Jason Rittenberry, CEO of the Kentucky State Fair, made a joint announcement at this week’s National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, Kentucky, regarding a collaboration between the groups.

Beginning with next year’s show, the Association of Equipment Manufacturers will assist with managing and co-producing the show, as well as having an equity position in the show’s future growth. Rittenberry said, “Every year, potential exhibitors are put on a waiting list for America’s largest farm show. This partnership will bring new opportunities for current and future exhibitors, as well as the people who attend the show every year.”

The Show brings together manufacturers and customers. The face-to-face interaction includes a chance to talk about issues that affect the overall industry. Slater noted this partnership will eventually allow different sectors of the Ag industry to work together to advance and strengthen agriculture for the benefit of all. Show organizers expect 30,000 people to come through the doors this week at the 2017 Show in Louisville.
