Two years ago, CEDC began the task of leading the effort to bring 2024 Wisconsin Farm Technology Days to Chippewa County. This year marks a momentous milestone for Wisconsin Farm Technology Days (FTD), as we celebrate 70 years of showcasing agricultural advancements and fostering community spirit. Since its inception as Farm Progress Days in 1954, FTD has grown into one of the largest and most influential agricultural events in the country, reflecting the dynamic evolution of Wisconsin’s agricultural industry.
FTD has always been at the forefront of agricultural innovation. The event began as a way to highlight the latest in farming technology, techniques, and equipment, providing a platform for farmers to learn, share, and adopt new practices that enhance productivity and sustainability. Over the decades, FTD has remained true to this mission, adapting to the changing needs of the agricultural community while introducing groundbreaking technologies and ideas. The last time Chippewa County hosted the show was in 2004 when CEDC helped provide volunteers for the show. Prior to that, Chippewa County hosted the 1968 show as well at what is now known as the Lake Wissota Business Park.
