Week ending February 18th...
This past week we attended the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, Kentucky. It is a great way for us to generate new ideas or just improve upon practices we are already implementing. The five hour drive down and back is not too bad either as we call that our farm's "winter conference." With all the hustle and bustle of farming it's rare to get 10 hours together to make decisions and bounce ideas off each other. Below are some pictures I took of new or interesting products unveiled at the farm show. 
The most intriguing item we saw; Gerginhoff's innovative corn head design that DOES NOT require you to follow the rows. It was quite a hit with visitors at the show. Unfortunately, it will not be commercially available until 2015. This is truly pushing the limits of conventional thinking of following the rows...
We don't have a skidsteer, but I thought this was pretty neat. I sent this picture to my friend Adam Ploog who has cattle in Iowa and uses their skidsteer all the time. His comment was that while it looked cool, it would be hard to get manure all over it...
A Husqvarna chainsaw with a six foot bar and chain. Not sure who could operate this by them self, but it was certainly a novelty.
