BBI Spreaders Announces Winter Trade Show Schedule
/Lee Kilpatrick, Director of Sales and Marketing at BBI Spreaders, announces the company’s winter trade show schedule beginning in December 2012 and running through late February 2013.
As part of BBI’s commitment to bringing the best spreaders to the field for agriculture, poultry, construction, golf, and orchard and vineyard applications, the company will be showcasing perennial favorites like Endurance and MagnaSpread with multiple key partners in the Midwest, Southeast, and Atlantic Coast regions represented during the winter trade show circuit.
The winter circuit kicks off on December 4-6 with the Nebraska Power Farming Show at Lincoln’s Lancaster Event Center, as BBI joins the booth sponsored by our partners at Cornhusker Ag. The following week, the BBI team links up with our friends at Agro Chem for the Indiana-Illinois Farm and Outdoor Power Equipment Show on December 11-13 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis.
After a three-week holiday break, the BBI crew hits the ground running at York, Pennsylvania’s York Fairgrounds, joining our partners, Agri Service, for the Keystone Farm Show January 8-10. After the Keystone show, it’s back to Indiana for the Fort Wayne Farm Show at Fort Wayne’s Allen County War Memorial Coliseum. The Fort Wayne Show brings BBI back together with our friends at Agro Chem from January 15-17.
In late January and February, the winter circuit takes a southern swing, with the first stop in Fishersville, Virginia on January 17-19 for the Virginia Farm Show with our area dealer, Liskey Truck Sales. From there, the BBI team trucks on to Raleigh’s North Carolina State Fairgrounds for the Southern Farm Show, from January 30-February 1.
Concurrent with the Southern Farm Show is the 2013 Ag Connect Farm Expo and Summit at Kansas City, Missouri’s Convention Center. BBI will be there with a booth at the Expo, which runs January 29-31.
February 13-16 sees one of the largest ag shows of the year, the 48th National Farm Machinery Show, take place at Louisville’s Kentucky Expo Center, and BBI and Agro Chem will once again have a significant display for this national gathering of the ag community. Then, the BBI team hitches its wagon to the 52nd Annual Western Farm Show at Kansas City, Missouri’s American Royal Complex. The Western Farm Show takes place February 22-24.
The final stop for BBI’s whirlwind winter circuit will be the New York Farm Show in Syracuse, with our partner, Monroe Tractor, one of the northeastern United States’ most formidable dealers of agricultural equipment. Held annually at the New York State Fairgrounds, the New York Farm Show will take place from February 22-25.
“Our team at BBI is proud to embark on another round of key trade shows on the ag circuit,” stated Kilpatrick. “These ten shows give us multiple opportunities to support our dealers around the country, as well as interact with the farmers, ranchers, and the folks representing America’s poultry and dairy businesses. Not only do we get to show these people our latest innovations in the world of spreaders, their feedback helps us to drive our next wave of product development, keeping BBI at the forefront of our industry. My team and I are looking forward to this round of trade shows kicking off a great 2013 for us at BBI Spreaders.”
A strong start is vital for the successful growth of any crop, including winter wheat. While many wheat growers focus on preparing the seedbed and ensuring optimal seed placement, there is one important element that may be overlooked in some winter wheat programs: starter phosphorus.
