Make the most of NFMS: 5 tips for enjoying the latest ag equipment, technology

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Now is the time to plan your day — or days — at the National Farm Machinery Show Feb. 12-15 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville.

Here are five tips to make the most of your visit:

1. Check out new product unveilings and product announcements. It’s top secret for now, but several new products will be unveiled on the first day of the show.

2. Plan for parking. One-time entry parking is available online only at the Expo Center for $12 plus tax. You can also buy single and multi-day in/out passes at the gate. Prices remain same as years prior — $15 including tax at the gate. Learn more at https://kec.parkmobile.io/.

3. Make a list of the exhibitors you want to visit. Click https://farmmachineryshow.org/exhibitor-list to see the list.

4. Shop at the Gift and Craft Market. Between the hours of 5 and 6 p.m. is a great time to hit up the Gift & Craft Market, as doors close to the exhibit halls at 5 p.m. and Freedom Hall opens at 6 p.m. for the 7 p.m. pull. Learn more at https://farmmachineryshow.org/visitors/plan-your-visit.
