Empire Farm Days, the largest outdoor trade show in the northeastern United States, will return to Pompey, New York, from Aug. 3 to Aug. 5. Located at Palladino Farms, about 15 km southeast of Syracuse, the 3-day event showcases over 600 outdoor and indoor exhibitors, drawing almost 16,000 visitors last year.
Farmers and agricultural enthusiasts can explore new equipment and field-crop demonstrations, gaining valuable insights from seminars led by soil health specialists, cattle handlers, horse trainers, and farm safety educators.
Beyond the educational and business aspects, Empire Farm Days offers a touch of fun and excitement. Attendees can participate in the skid steer rodeo and kids' pedal-tractor pull, engaging the younger generation in the agricultural experience.
For those seeking more hands-on action, the farmer Olympics promises a range of thrilling activities, including the sledgehammer throw, bale tossing, tire flipping, and egg tossing.
With a wide array of exhibits and activities, Empire Farm Days caters to farmers, families, and agricultural enthusiasts alike, making it a significant event on the agricultural calendar in the northeastern U.S.
