I could not attend yesterday’s media luncheon at the Farm Progress Show so I had to solicit a couple of pictures. Thanks to professional photographer and all around media tent good guy, Gene Hemphill, New Holland, for sending these along.

In this first one you can see Don Tourte, Farm Progress Companies, cutting the ribbon. He’s joined by a number of local leaders.

Those leaders and a number of visiting media then got a tour of the show by tram. I think Gene was at the front of this group to get this shot.

I’ll be heading to Boone, IA, along with Laura McNamara, on Monday. We’re hoping to get set up in the media room in the afternoon. Right now I’m planning on having AgWired Live TV going for as much of the show as I can. I’m going to try to webcast the press conferences from the media tent. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for good high speed internet.
