On February 19th, several farmers from Butler County traveled to the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, KY. The group of 43 people traveled to Louisville aboard a bus sponsored by the Butler County Farm Bureau.

The Machinery Show in Louisville is the largest indoor farm machinery show in America. An estimated 295,000 people attended the show this year. The Butler County Farm Bureau started the bus trip to make it easier for their members to visit the show. The entire KY Fair and Exposition Center is used for the event. Parking and driving home after a long day of walking can be a challenge for any attendee. Attendees were able to see the latest innovations in farm equipment and much more while at the show.

For more information, contact the Butler County Extension Office at 112 E.GL Smith Street, Morgantown, or call 270-526-3767.

Educational programs of the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability, or national origin.
