In the foreground is the Anderson Implement booth and equipment, with exhibitors Midwest Pressure Washers and Brokaw Supply visible in the background. They were all at the 8th Annual Farm News Ag Show last week in Fort Dodge.

The two-day 8th Annual Farm News Ag Show in Fort Dodge drew crowds both days from across the central Iowa region.

More than 40 exhibitors were on hand to display their equipment and services to rural producers and households.

A spate of five speakers provided humor, grain marketing outlooks and information about managing new risks in the current ag economy and awareness of the new BioCentury Research Farm near Boone.

Kerry Carleton, Farm News ad manager, said exhibitors were pleased with the crowds, even though some harvest activity needed to be completed.
