September 2nd, 2009 by kbodnar

The first day of the 2009 Farm Progress Show started out with perfect weather and large turn out to see the latest and greatest in the agriculture industry.

Too much was going on to really sum up all of the action into a quick blog post so instead I am sharing with you some pictures featuring new products as well as a clip from the auction that took place in the early afternoon.
