Why Exhibit Video – Empire Farm Days

Van May

“What’s nice about this show, it’s laid out very well, large participation here, so we see a lot of customers. A lot of people come through the gate. We offer demo rides so they can see the new models, see how the machine is going to work for them,

“Agriculture is a really people driven business. Everybody’s always talking, whether it’s about the weather or crop prices, beef prices, hog prices. So it’s cool to come out and meet people, network.” – Ben Wickham, NYS Pork Producers

Lorne Wagner

“We need to introduce our new stuff to our customer and this is the best way to do it naturally. It’s here, they can look at it, kick the tires so to speak, and get more out of it.” – Lorne Wagner, Kuhn

Tim Call

“We like the show because it’s right centrally located and it brings a lot of people to us that probably wouldn’t come in to us any other way.” – Tim Call, Empire Tractor

Fred Greenfield

“There’s always new vendors, and new equipment coming on so it brings people here at that time. We are here because the people are here.” – Fred Greenfield, Alyne Trucking
