The Mid-South Farm & Gin Show is in full swing on day two here in Memphis. This is the last stop on the agriblogging highway for me this week. It’s back to ZimmComm World Headquarters tonight.
Right off the bat this morning I ran into Tim Price, Show Manager. This is the 63rd show and with all the weather issues in the region lately there’s no better place for mid-south farmers to be. There have been some years of prosperity followed by some anxiety now as commodity prices have been falling so Tim says this is the place for farmers to be to get the latest in “technology, innovation, efficiency.”
The show is once again full and I’m sure there was also some anxiety getting all this big equipment in here earlier this week with the negative weather. But that weather has cleared up and it’s a very busy morning here.
The show has a lot of family emphasis as I noticed last year. There are lots of strollers here with a couple generations of family following along. Tim can tell you the show story so I’m going to let you listen in to our conversation.
