In the last week or so I have been able to figure out a few things that I am definitely going to have to see at the Farm Progress Show. I wanted to quick share them with you so maybe you could make a note to experience them, as well.
First, the Monsanto Technology Showcase which is a field-demonstration site established to showcase the new and upcoming advancements in technology that Monsanto has developed that will soon be hitting the market. I would encourage you to take advantage of the tour since this will soon change agriculture as we know it. Then, after the tour you can stop by the Monsanto tent to learn more about the advancements or just enjoy the displays.
Tuesday at 10:00am there will be a press conference about the Roundup Ready 2 Yield/Seed Treatment. If this is something that interests you make sure to check it out.
At 5:00pm on Tuesday there will be a Sustainability Roundtable where various agricultural companies will meet to discuss making ag more sustainable.
Both presidential candidates, McCain and Obama, will be attending the Farm Progress Show on Tuesday, as well.
Other things to look forward to hearing about through my blog include;
Iowa State University Donation
Monsanto's Inventors Challenge
International Visitors perspectives
Article on the DEKALB Ag Youth Scholarship recipients
And much, much more!
