TOPEKA, Kan. (WiBW) - The latest and greatest in agriculture is on display at the Kansas Expocentre this week.

The Topeka Farm Show kicked off its 24th annual run Tuesday at the Kansas Expocentre.

Exhibition Hall, Domer Arena and Landon Arena are filled with farm equipment displays, trailers, horse demonstrations, high-tech products, health screenings and more.

Show Manager Steve Guenthner says it's also an annual destination for people from five states. He says farmers have a chance to visit with each other as well as the exhibitors.

Among items drawing attention in recent years are new varieties of drought-resistant seeds.
