Thank a Farmer

A new initiative for 2010!  designed to educate the public on the importance of agriculture. Thank a Farmer will highlight everyday objects that we wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for a farmer – think footballs, desks, clothing and food! Look for the Thank a Farmer icon during your time at the Show.
