The first person I spoke with on the show floor at AG CONNECT Expo was Russell Fowler, President/CEO, Krone NA. Of course it’s still setup time so there was a lot of construction going on.
However, Russ took a few moments to talk about the company’s decision to become involved in the first ever show and share some of the new things visitors will see in their exhibit. He says the idea for this show goes back many years stemming from a desire “to have a show that was put together by the ag industry, for the ag industry.” That’s what he says AG CONNECT is all about. He says AEM has done so much work to put the show together that it “makes me tired.” Russ says Krone is taking the opportunity to put their best foot forward and will be showcasing among other things their new folding 12 row corn head for the Krone Big X self propelled forage harvester.
