Laura says she’s worked with some of the staff at McCormick on projects over a period of several years so she’s not a complete stranger. She says that clients can expect the same great …

How The Best Was Won
I’m guessing most of you are not online reading AgWired this weekend and I’m not doing a lot of posting either. It is “Labor Day” weekend after all. However, just in case you’re taking a peek now (or later this week). . . It’s time for you to start thinking about your Best of NAMA entries. This year’s theme is …
Harvest Labor Weekend
This is what I saw a lot of coming home from the Farm Progress Show and then again today when I was out in the field. It’s perfect weather to be out in the field so I’m sure this is going to be a busy weekend of harvesting. While I was out today there was a kind of infrequent breeze …
Farm Bill Food Battle Video
In the never ending push by whacko groups to impact American production agriculture there’s a new video out from the folks at Free Range Studios. It’s called The Farm Bill Food Battle. It looks like the same folks who brought us The Meatrix and other humorous but so off base productions. They demonstrate great creativity as I’ve pointed out before. …

Laura was out there yesterday and shot a video clip of a Case IH unit. Farm Progress Show Photo Album AgWired coverage of the 2007 Farm …
Tour The New Holland Exhibit
So you say you’ve never been to a Farm Progress Show? Hopefully the 40 something posts from here on AgWired will give you a pretty good overview of what it’s like. Since New Holland is my sponsor I thought you might enjoy a walking tour through their exhibit. This is not meant to be a serious product demonstration so it …
AQHA Test Rides
Combines, tractors and 4-wheelers aren’t the only thing you can test drive here at the Farm Progress Show. You can also test drive a quarter horse thanks to the American Quarter Horse Association. I didn’t get to watch for long but it looked pretty sedate to me. No racing going on out here today. Just test rides like these and …
