Welcome!

I would like to welcome you to my blog for the 2008 Farm Progress Show! I have been given a great opportunity by Monsanto to see the inner-workings of one of America's favorite farm shows. I will be attending all 3 days of the show visiting various booths, shows, events, and displays in order to bring you up-to-date on the happenings at the Farm Progress Show. Check daily for new information, pictures, and even videos!

Horse training demonstrations a hit



Craig Morgan is a renowned horse trainer who is sharing his tips and tricks with the visitors of the 2008 Farm Progress Show. Craig has been working with horses for close to 60 years now and is very talented at his trade.


Every day at 11:00 am and 2:00 pm Craig brings in another "green" horse (in non-horse speak that means never been ridden) and breaks (aka trains) the horse in front of your very eyes. He offers his advice and walks you through every step of the process, keeping the seminar light and humorous.

The seminar I watched today was interactive and fun. The crowd was engaged and loving it. Coming from a former rodeo queen, Craig really knows his stuff, too. One comment he made that I didn't know was that horses see in shades, not colors. Craig and his assistant, Steve, were entertaining and a great break from walking around.
