Penn State University Ag Progress Days

Want to talk dirty- do some grass- No, I'm not talking about a heavy metal or rap concert. I am referring to Penn State's Ag Progress Days. PT Barnum once had a circus called , The Greatest Show on Earth. Ag Progress Days should be called , The Greatest Show on Dirt. Here you will meet soil, turf, insect pest and dozens of other professors and experts. All of these specialists are available for questions and consultations on any agriculture question you may have. The best part is that all is free; free advice-free demonstrations-free admission-free parking!

Not only can you see every type of new yard and farm implement- you can actually see them demonstrated. My favorite is a full size farm tractor that is remote controlled. They run the tractor along the side of a small hill and purposely roll it over by driving it over a rock. It is quite impressive to see how easily it rolls on a small incline.

There are dozens of different kinds of plants and animals, new types of hybrids, bio fuel exhibits, and acres and acres of exhibits . There are many big ag shows around the country- but few that actually demonstrate the equipment. This one will not disappoint!
