The North American Farm and Power Show will be this week Thursday, Friday and Saturday in Owatonna. This is the 14th year that the North American Farm and Power Show will be held in the Four Seasons Complex on the Steele County Fairgrounds in Owatonna. Before moving to Owatonna, the Power Show was in downtown Minneapolis at the Convention Center. It sure is a lot more convenient not having to drive to downtown Minneapolis. Now parking and admission is free, too!

This is one of my favorite events of the year. I have gotten to know a lot of the exhibitors and farmers that attend the show. Tradexpos owns the North American Farm and Power Show and a number of farm shows in other states. It will be different this year though. Jack Thill owned Tradexpos. Last summer Jack passed away after a 65-year career in agribusiness. I will always remember Jack's smile at the show. He loved talking with exhibitors and farmers. I guess that was his passion in life, bringing buyers and sellers together.
