New Boomers from New Holland
New Holland usually has “new” on the lot at the National Farm Machinery Show and this year is no exception. My model in the picture is Todd DeBock, Pro Work Tools lead, New Holland, next to a Boomer 54D compact utility tractor. This is the first public showing of this new tractor. Todd enthusiastically describes all the newness of the …
New Holland 3-A-Day iPad Giveaway
You’ll find a lot of giveaways at a trade show but iPads just don’t wear out their welcome. Especially since so many farmers today are using them as farm tools!

FMC Demos 3RIVE 3D at NFMS

FMC’s Matt Hancock says …
NFMS Gets a Little Snow
I really thought we would have a snow free National Farm Machinery Show. None in the forecast. But, nooooo. This morning we had enough of a flurry to put a little snow on the ground.

See video to watch world-class tractors pull down the track at the 47th annual Championship Tractor Pull sponsored by Syngenta. The Championship …

She was just a little girl 50 years ago, but Linda Breathitt knows how much it meant to her father Governor Ned Breathitt to kick off what has now become the largest indoor farm show in the country. “It was important to my dad as he knew how important agriculture is to the economy of our state,” said Linda Breathitt, …
National Farm Machinery Show Welcome
Welcome to day two of the National Farm Machinery Show. Cindy and I thought we had a snow free show this year. Wrong. Snow flurries this morning. Just enough to be annoying but I doubt it will cause any issues for attendees today. Yesterday I was wearing my ZimmGlass and recorded a welcome video from on top of a New …

Governor Crit Luallen, who took part in the ribbon cutting ceremony Wednesday marking the …
FMC Promotes Overlap Weed Control
There’s no way around it anymore. With the prevalence of resistant weeds growing every year, farmers are having to use a pre- and post-emergent overlap weed management program for control. At the 2015 National Farm Machinery Show, FMC Corporation is helping to make that a little easier for growers by offering effective modes of action to keep their fields cleaner …
