2009 Farm Progress Show

The 2009 Farm Progress Show held in Decatur, Ill. saw record crowds and beautiful weather. Once again, FS member cooperatives were well represented with a display at the corner of Central Progress and 11th street. The exhibit featured a remote control racetrack, an anhydrous ammonia safety display, and entertainment by comedian Tim Cavanaugh.







The GROWMARK board of directors and executive staff took a behind-the-scenes tour of the Monsanto exhibit, where they saw new technologies in corn and soybeans.

Besides staffing the exhibit during the three-day show, FS cooperative personnel also provided fuel for all show equipment - both biodiesel and an ethanol blend - and assisted with agronomic recommendations on official show corn and soybean plots.
