At the Commodity Classic John Deere gave away a very nice safe. The winner is Doug Rund, Twin Valley, MN. He’s a member of the Minnesota Wheat Council. Since this wouldn’t fit in the overhead on the plane he’s going to have it delivered by his local dealer. I think he’ll have to settle for putting your guns and other …

A Skateboard in Your Farm Plan
I guess this is a magazine ad for John Deere’s Farm Plan program. I’m not sure how many farmers are skateboarders but it caught the attention of Adrants which is where I saw it.

Price works for Monty’s Plant Food Company which is practically across the highway from the show. He introduced me to the company president, Dennis Stephens (pictured).

NFMS Owned By Kentucky Fair Board
There’s not a lot of major national farm shows left that I haven’t attended at least once. They’re always a learning experience too. The National Farm Machinery Show has been no different. I didn’t even know who owned and operated the show. Now I do. I met Amanda Storment, VP of Media & Public Relations for the Kentucky Fair & …

The Global Farm Auction Guide
I almost wish I could do an interview and post from every booth at a show like the National Farm Machinery Show. They all have a story to tell and you can find something interesting about all the products on display here. However, there’s only so much time. One interview I had set up before going was with Dwayne Leslie …
