AgWired Live TV is now done for the day. We’ve been live from the media tent throughout a lot of the Farm Progress Show so I hope you’ve been able to see an application of what we can do with it. I hope it gives you some ideas. Laura and I are getting ready to pack up and head home …
Muddy Start to Day 3 of Farm Progress Show
Welcome to day 3 of the Farm Progress Show. We had a lot of rain overnight so it’s pretty muddy out here but the sun is out and I’m sure it will dry up and be a beautiful day in Boone, IA. Laura and I are working up some content from yesterday and have a to-do list to get started …

AgWired Live TV From Farm Progress Show
Hello live from Day 2 of the Farm Progress Show in Boone, IA. Well, we were going to broadcast the Tom Dorr press conference at 2pm but thanks to the worst internet access we’ve ever had at a Farm Progress Show (that I can remember anyway) access for AgWired Live TV died a little before the press conference. I taped …
Some BASF Headliners
Our world record holder for soybean yield, Kip Cullers, is on site at the Farm Progress Show. Here’s he is (center) with his wife, Michelle, and ASA President John Hoffman.

At the American Soybean Association tent, BASF is providing lunch for members of state soybean associations as well as ASA. Here’s a couple of the folks from BASF, serving their customers. I visited the tent and spoke with ASA VP, Rob Joslin. He’s national membership chairman and really enjoys the relationship that has developed with BASF. For example, he likes …
Farm Progress Show Rain
Day 2 of the Farm Progress Show is getting off to a wet start. This is rain dripping off the media tent. Thank goodness our sponsor, New Holland, has a nice place for us to work in. Yesterday was dry and dusty and today’s the opposite. That’s kind of typical for the show though. Laura and I are at the …

I’m trying out a new Flip Video camera at this show. It’s pretty simple in terms of shooting and uploading your video to YouTube. First up, I’ve got …
