It’s Farm Progress Show photo album time. I have a few pictures uploaded from the show for your viewing pleasure.
Final Thoughts!
Now, as I’m all recuperated from the Farm Progress Show, I’m back writing again. I was going to write my final thoughts after the show but after my drive back to Ames, I fell asleep and didn’t wake up until this morning for class!
Your AgWired Show Team
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.
Out Sitting In Their Field
I know it’s kind of corny. Especially since it’s a corn field.
These guys brought their own transportation out to the field to watch today’s corn harvesting demonstrations.
Biodiesel Fuels The Show
All the tractors out here have the chance to fill up with biodiesel.
If you’re going to grow a commodity to turn it into fuel then you should walk the walk.
Agriblogging Expert
One of the only reporters left working in the media tent this morning was our very own Kelcy Schroder. I think she’s doing a great job helping me cover the show here and I hope you do too.
If you like her work please use the comment feature on her posts to let her know.
Horse Whisperer
For the most part, I’m pretty familiar with cattle but horses I don’t know so much about. I have had a few in my life time, broke my arm on one, so I’ve never had great experiences with them.
Cattle Handling
For growing up on a farm and showing cattle since I could ever remember, I thought going to the cattle handling demonstration would be something of interest.
WILL AM-580 Booth
When I saw the WILL Radio booth their banner caught my eye since it says, “Podcasts and Radio on Demand.”
I know you can’t see it here in this picture but you can find their podcasts on their website.
