Forecasting the future for 50 years

When the 2012 Farm Science Review opens its gates on Tuesday, September 18 it will mark the show’s 50th anniversary. And Show Manager Chuck Gamble says for those 50 years, Farm Science Review has been forecasting the future.

“That’s really what farm shows are all about and particularly Farm Science Review (FSR) and when you have a connection to The Ohio State University or any university, you hope you’re on the cutting edge of what’s coming down the road,” said Gamble.

Gamble says the show space is sold out and for those wanting to see the equipment at work, field demonstrations will be held.

“You will not find another farm show in this country that has as dynamic field demonstrations as what you’ll find at our show,” Gamble said. “We start with corn harvest, we’ve got soybean harvest ready to go, the beans are ready to run.”

Farm Science Review show hours are 8 to 5 Tuesday and Wednesday, September 18 and 19, 8 to 4 on Thursday, September 20.
