Going behind the scenes for a big show

Staging a farm show is not something everyone thinks of doing but every year Rick Wild has big dates circled on his calendar as he joins the Farm Progress staff to make the Farm Progress Show happen. As operations manager, Wild is responsible for a range of details involved in moving in hundreds of exhibitors to get them ready for the big show.

It’s the first time the show has been in Boone since 2018, but Wild was on hand back then. He shares some of the key issues that happen when you have a four-year gap.
