Here are a few parting shots and thoughts from the National Farm Machinery Show.

First up, this cute little pup (I think his name was Mitchell) hopped up on the New Holland Boomer 8N for a great photo op. He did get tired of the attention pretty quickly, but not before his owners and several by-standers snapped him sitting in the seat of the revised classic tractor.

Then we have the “Greenberry,” Barry Nelson’s John Deere green-skinned Blackberry. Not a custom skin – Barry says he bought it at an airport.

Of course we have the obligatory AgriTalk photo, which I also took but neglected to post from the National Biodiesel Conference. Between AgriTalk and AgWired, we covered pretty much every color tractor in the rainbow at NFMS. They did the show from the Case exhibit Wednesday and the AGCO exhibit on Thursday.

Finally, Agri-Talk host Mike Adams’ new iPhone, which he went out and bought in Louisville after seeing our friend Gene Hemphill of New Holland use his. Mike said that if Gene could do it, he certainly could! He bought it Thursday evening and said Friday that he already loved it. Chuck will be very proud to see another iPhone convert!

It was great to see everyone at the NFMS – we’ll see you again in just a week or so at either the National Ethanol Conference, Commodity Classic – or both!
