Taking place in two heated buildings, the WNY Farm Show works to bring together the farming population and the services necessary for daily operation. Vendors for this year’s show include feed, seed, and equipment dealers, farm service providers, and various agriculture non-profits and agencies.

The 2016 WNY Farm show will debut the Farmer Elite Toss, a hay bale throwing competition that is open to the public. Guests can try and toss hay bale the farthest to try and win cash prizes and gift certificates from Joe Basil Chevrolet Commercial Trucks. Participants can sign up beginning at 12:30pm daily inside the Showplex.

The Harvest Theater, inside the Agriculture Discovery Center will host a variety of workshops and seminars. The WNY Farm Show will host Pesticide Re-certification courses twice daily. Each session will feature a different topic and is free to the public, however, space is limited. These courses are an excellent opportunity to earn spray credits prior to the 2016 growing season.

On Friday, February 5 at 10:00am there will be a Mechanics Competition open to high school students. Six stations will test the competitor’s knowledge of the assembly, tools and skills required to maintain and repair equipment. This is the first time the Farm Show has hosted an event of this kind.

In addition to vendors and seminars, the WNY Farm Show offers fun for the kids as well. Inside the Agriculture Discovery Center, kids will be treated to free Ag-tivities. Concessions will also be available throughout the show.

The WNY Farm Show will run Thursday, February 4 from 9:00am-5:00pm, Friday, February 5 from 9:00am-5:00pm, and Saturday from 9:00am-3:00pm.
