TGS Magazine

For 2023, we’ve compiled the largest TGS magazine, and in my opinion, the greatest compilation of stories we have ever had the opportunity to share.

Here at #TheGreatestShow, we talk a lot about building future leaders and how growing up in the barn and the showring teaches our ag youth a strong work ethic and responsibility, along with how to win and lose graciously. Up until this year, we’ve only shared stories of those up-and-coming exhibitors and students. This year, however, we proudly bring you stories of those who grew up in the barn and the showring, who now truly are leading our state, nation and our industry in the right direction.
