For the Hub City Times

NEILLSVILLE – Clark County has been selected to host Wisconsin Farm Technology Days in 2022, and organizers are in search of a host farm, or farms, to provide for the annual event.

 “This decision should not be made lightly by any farm as it is a large undertaking.  However, it might be the most memorable undertaking of any farm,” said Chuck Rueth, chairman of 2022 Clark County Farm tech Days.  “Hosting this show will provide many opportunities, along with chances to work with many new partners and the source of celebrations for years to come.”

Over 400 acres are needed to host the show; it requires a minimum of 70 acres for the commercial exhibits in “tent city,” 80 acres for parking, and 250 acres of crops for field demonstrations involving tillage and hay harvest.

If any farm feels they do not have enough acres, they can also partner with a neighbor and apply jointly.  It has been common for two families to partner together to host Farm Technology Days.

For more information call 715-743-5121 or e-mail richard.halopka@wisc.edu.  Please do not hesitate to apply or suggest a host for this great show.  Applications are available at the Clark County Extension Office and may be mailed out.  Application deadline is Sept. 9.
