It’s nice to be home and have the dust showered off. Before leaving the Farm Progress Show today I remembered to have a picture taken of Kelcy and me.
FlexFuel Motors
A new exhibit out here at the Farm Progress Show was put together in just the last 45 days by FlexFuel Motors.
The man who’s the inspiration and work horse behind it is Tad Whitten, Motor Sports Management, Inc. Besides having a variety of vehicles on display that utilize ethanol or biodiesel, he built a replica of the first ethanol filling station which was in Nebraska. As you can see in the picture he’s found pumps and other original equipment and even built the building as close to as possible to the original as he could.

The man who’s been touring this around is Alan Slunecka, farmer and brother to EPIC Executive Director, Tom Slunecka. The vehicle here has a simulator attached and …
Monsanto’s Technology Chief
I finally got to tour the Monsanto exhibit last night. All I can say is “wow.” It’s got to be the coolest exhibit I’ve seen at this show. I know they’re my sponsor but you’d have to see it to believe
Satellite Radio At The Show
At the Chevrolet exhibit you’ll find XM Satellite Radio.
I know they’re putting these in new cars. Is anyone putting them in new tractors?
Final Day Underway
It’s a beautiful morning here on the final day of the Farm Progress Show.
