Show director Bernie Hutchinson said organisers had given a "proactive" response to concerns raised over the show by exhibitors, traders and visitors.
He said two one-day events would work better logistically and hopefully result in more exhibitors and larger crowds.
Mr Hutchinson said: "We are trying to reinvent something that is broken and put it right a little bit. This is ground zero and we take it forward from here."
Shropshire County Show chairman Neale Sadler added: "Following this year's show, the overwhelming feedback received were that everyone wanted a one-day show, especially the agricultural trade and livestock exhibitors."
