Heavy storms that dumped four inches of rain and raked the Farm Progress Show site in Boone, Iowa with strong winds delayed the opening of the show by two hours this morning, but the crowds poured onto the grounds when the gates opened. The permanent show site absorbed the rain well. Farm Progress National Events Manager Matt Jungmann gave details at the start of today’s show.
As always, the red tractors of Case-IH are featured in a big, interactive display at the 2010 Farm Progress Show. We heard from the Case-IH experts how customers are driving design of the new tractors, about how new technology is being used to provide cleaner emissions, and about the new generation of Steiger tractors.
