Recycled asphalt one of more than 600 exhibits on display at Farm Progress Show next week

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.

Mitas demonstrates its tires that allow a tractor to float on Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2022, in Boone, Iowa. The tires will be showcased at the Farm Progress Show next week.
