Farm Expo grand prize offers $3,000-plus in farming tools

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — The Indiana Farm Equipment and Technology Expo, scheduled from Dec. 17-19 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, has announced the grand prize to be awarded to one lucky farmer attending this year’s show.

A power tool package valued at more than $3,000 is being provided by American Family Insurance, the presenting sponsor of the show. Those attending the event will have the chance to sign up at the American Family exhibit. Online registration is also available and is open now at https://amfamfarmshows.com

The package consists of an M18 Cordless 2-Speed Grease Gun Kit by Milwaukee Tool; a 41-inch Nine-Drawer Roller Cabinet with Six-Drawer Tool Chest by DeWalt; and a 20V Max XR Lithium Six-Tool Combo Kit.

“The theme of the show this year is Recover, Renew, and Innovate, and this package will certainly help renew the shop of the lucky farmer who wins,” said Expo President Gary Truitt.

In addition to showcasing the latest in farm technology on a 150,000 square-foot exhibit floor, the show features three days of free seminars on the IntelliFarm Seminar stage; live product demonstrations; a free breakfast on opening day sponsored by Farm Credit Mid-America and Ag Direct; and a free pork lunch on Dec. 19 sponsored by Indiana Pork and Global Ag Risk Solutions.

Free coffee will be served daily in the Rural King Coffee shops, located right on the exhibit floor. Admission to the show is free, but pre-registration is requested at https://indianafarmexpo.com

 The Expo is a production of MidCountry Media, parent company of Farm World, and Hoosier Ag Today.
