Good evening! Yesterday was a very busy day at the farm show. The first two days are by private invitation only. The first impression of this show is overwhelming. You truly need a map to know where you are going. There are so many buildings, 13 separate buildings to be exact. This makes the Louisville Farm show seem small. The world economy may be struggling but given the attendance at this show for invitees only you wouldn't know it! We met with a few of our existing international customers and a couple potential new customers.
Once inside the first thing you notice are the very professional displays by all the vendors. You can see to the left John Deere has a second floor for their customers to visit with staff! We even encountered a company selling shots of Famous Grouse Scotch chilled to -18 degrees for one Euro. They were selling jackets, I guess if you pump enough Scotch in the potential customer they will buy anything! I have also included a photo of New Holland's release of the "Boomer" 8N tractor. What a marketing campaign "Past Is Back - Future is Present!".
That's all for today, tomorrow is going to be just as hectic. It's easier to track my thoughts during our meetings at the farm show on my twitter account - click here!
Thanks for reading!
Cheers,
Mike
