The Dakota Farm Show had a very different look this year, and some new guidelines were put in place for attendees. The show began on Tuesday in Vermillion, with hundreds of vendors from the agriculture industry, as well as other booths, hoping for decent crowds for the three-day event. I was there for the first day of the event and signs were posted throughout the Dakota Dome windows that masks were required at the show, and most in attendance adhered to that policy. According to Dakota News Now, many vendors were quite aware the numbers would be down this year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. That being said, hopes have been high that more people might come to the event than first expected. One vendor, Brad Young was optimistic about the turnout.
