    The 2009 Wisconsin Farm Technology Days that just ended in Dodge County drew many thousands of visitors interested in farming’s many aspects.

Bev, Roger, Michelle and Brad Peterson agreed to host the 2010 WI Farm Technology Days event on their family farm, located about a ½ mile east of River Falls on Hwy. 29.

For the first time in its 55-year history, the big farm-bazaar event Farm Technology Days comes to Pierce County July 20-22, 2010. Not only the Peterson family, whose farm will host the event, but also many volunteers in and around River Falls, will help make it happen.

FTD organizers expect the non-profit event to draw as many as 80,000 visitors and say hosting it will require about 1,500 volunteers. Those raising funds to host the event target a $170,000 goal.

Get more information and see photos online at the 2010 FTD web site: www.piercefarmtech.com. Read two detailed stories about FTD in the Aug. 6 print edition of the River Falls Journal; one profiles the Peterson family and its expanding farm, the other explores the different ways in which local people are preparing for the big event.
