The 2025 Farm Progress Show wrapped up another year in Decatur Aug. 26-28. The annual event draws thousands of visitors from around the globe to celebrate agricultural innovation and the future of farming.
Illinois Touchstone Energy cooperatives were present to share information about cooperatives, safety, energy efficiency and more. Southwestern Electric Cooperative presented its Live Line Safety Demo, showing how electricity gets to homes, farms and businesses, while also teaching important safety practices. Lineworkers also demonstrated their pole-climbing skills.
Guests who stopped by the booth had the chance to register for a drawing to win a Lectric eBike and could climb in a bucket truck for a photo. Cooperative members who showed their Co-op Connections card or app received a gift.
For more than 70 years, the Farm Progress Show has celebrated agriculture by bringing together tradition, innovation and community.
