Max Armstrong reminisces about his home-county fair, an event he hasn’t been able to attend for some time. Max shares insight on an army of volunteers who work to turn the site into a showplace for the big event. Alice Smith, a Purdue University Extension Educator, shared her insight on the fair and Max offers some of what she discussed in this edition of Farm Progress America.

Farm Progress America is a daily look at key issues in agriculture. It is produced and presented by Max Armstrong, veteran farm broadcaster and host of This Week in Agribusiness.
