One of the groundbreaking technologies on display when the Farm Progress Show opens in Boone next week will be underneath visitors’ feet.
Underneath the one-acre Varied Industries tent is asphalt, but this blacktop is made out of recycled materials bound together with soybean oil, a new product made by researchers at Iowa State University. It’s one of many new agricultural technologies that will be showcased at the Farm Progress Show, Aug. 30 to Sept. 1
Others include sprayer drones and other autonomous equipment, as well as large tires that allow a tractor to float in water.
