Wisconsin Farm Technology Days hosted by Dodge County volunteers at the Crave Brothers Farm near Waterloo will offer something for everyone.

Daily admission is $5 however, there are advance tickets available at many locations in the county in packets of 10 tickets for $40. Advance tickets will be available through July 18.

"If you know you'll be at the show more than one day or if more people in your family plan to come to the show, you can save a dollar a day on the tickets," said Matt Hanson, executive secretary for the show and Dodge County's UW-Extension crops and soils agent.

Tickets are available at the UW-Extension office in Juneau or at numerous locations around the county including: State Bank of Reeseville at Reeseville and Watertown; Glenn's Market at Watertown; REMAX Reality Center at Watertown; Cenex at Watertown; Mullens Dairy Bar & Eatery at Watertown; Ace Hardware at Watertown; Bank of Lake Mills at Lake Mills and Watertown; Farmers & Merchants State Bank at Waterloo; Badger Bank at Johnson Creek; Premier Bank at Johnson Creek and Jefferson; M & I Bank at Watertown; ISB Community Bank at Watertown, Ixonia & Oconomowoc; Farmers & Merchants Union Bank at Juneau and Columbus; Horicon Bank at Horicon, Burnett, Iron Ridge, Neosho and Beaver Dam; National Exchange Bank & Trust at Beaver Dam; Farmer State Bank at Fox Lake and Markesan; M & I Bank at Lomira and Mayville; Associated Banks at Watertown; Geeenwood State Bank at Lake Mills; Farmers Implement at Allenton and Columbus and Mayville Motor Supply at Mayville.

"All of the educational events at this show center around our theme - Food-Fuel-Future," according to Dave Frohling, Watertown, Executive Committee chair for the 2009 Wisconsin Farm Technology Days.

Frohling, who retired from and sold his farm implement business in Watertown just before taking on the task of chairing the show, said education has always been an important part of the Farm Technology Days show.

Frohling said the Craves have many innovative ideas on the farm including a cheese plant to process the milk from their 1,200 cows, two anaerobic digesters to create electricity, heat and a material that is used as the base of a potting soil mix from the manure on the farm. The farm also includes many new buildings including a state of the art shop, office, feed storage and livestock housing. Visitors will have an opportunity to tour the farm while at the show.

"We'll have more trams at this show than ever before so we can get as many people through the farm as possible," Frohling said. "We expect to be able to take 2,500 people a day through the tours."

Frohling said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to see so many things in one place."

There are numerous hands-on youth activities; the Family Living tent will features a variety of entertainment and education. A crafts tent will feature unique, hand-made items.

The University of Wisconsin's Farm Progress pavilion will feature a wide variety of educational topics including digesters, composting, cheese making and animal identification.

More than 1,000 commercial exhibitors will also demonstrate or talk about the latest products and service offerings.

The show is presented in partnership with the Wisconsin Farm Technology Days, UW-Extension and teaming with the host county. Countless volunteers have been working for the last three years with the executive committee from Dodge County on plans for the 2009 show.
