Yesterday was media preview day for next week’s 2012 Farm Progress Show and our good friend Gene Hemphill sent us a few pics from the event with his commentary.

It’s a bird … it’s a plane … No, it’s a wagon? For many years the seemingly flying Kinze wagon has towered over the Farm Progress Show’s Tent City, giving arriving travelers one of the first signs that they were nearing the legendary City’s annual exhibits of agriculture – past, present, and future. And, while Ag-Wired’s Chuck has scaled many a grain bin to capture a breathtaking view of the Tent City, the flying wagon remains beyond his reach!

Oh, what a tangled web the Media can be! At least that might be how it feels for Dena Morgan, Marketing Specialists for the Farm Progress Show. Dena is preparing identification tags for the media guests arriving at Tent City for the annual Media Advance Day, always held the Wednesday before the FPS begins. Maybe the lanyards for the ID cards are tangled, but the agricultural media gets stand-along top billing for its dedication to the industry it represents. Truly, the ag media considers itself part of the industry!

We’ll be there next week – hope to see you then!
