Every other year, the Farm Progress Show is held east of Boone at the Central Iowa Expo site. Because of the volume of traffic, the Iowa State Patrol handles traffic into and out of the site. Locally, the Boone Police Department put together information about the impact the traffic flow will have on those that commute to the Ames or Des Moines metro area.
