Cows and other animals or all sorts, and impressive farm equipment, are on display at the annual Vermont Farm Show.

Since 1931—with a couple of exceptions—farmers have been getting together at this time of year for the Vermont Farm Show to socialize with other farmers and learn what's new in the agriculture world.

We'll be surrounded by hay bales and hay balers, horses and horse power when Vermont Edition broadcasts live from the annual Vermont Farm Show at the Champlain Valley Expo.We talked to farmers and exhibitors to learn about the latest farm tech and the challenges facing the industry.
