The impressive tents and intense displays that you are seeing at the 2008 Farm Progress Show did not just appear overnight. 5 months ago a design was put together for all of the Monsanto displays. From the design displays, wall panels were all built at a display house in St. Louis, MO., also home to Monsanto's Headquarters. 4 months ago all tent, electrical, moving equipment, and logistics were being planned. 35 days ago the set up began to lead to a whopping 4,000 man hours (at a minimum) were put in, just for set-up alone.
Overwhelmed yet? 15 truck loads of display materials, 2 trucks of give-aways, 9 truck loads of mulch, 2 trailers of plants were delivered to Boone, IA within the last month, just for one display area.
With that, my hat is off to the incredibly talented people of VisionStream, for all of their hard work and logistical magic that they perform year after year. I have been involved with several large-scale events, VEISHEA included, and this show puts all of those events to shame.
