E232: Inside the National Farm Machinery Show

The National Farm Machinery Show attracts more than half a million farmers, ranchers, and ag industry professionals every year to a massive event in Louisville where everything from tractors to precision equipment to drills are on display. But after several years of excitement in the machinery market, high interest rates, low commodity prices, and an atmosphere of uncertainty means this year's show had a different tenor than years past. 

DTN Progressive Farmer’s Senior Editor Dan Miller is just back from his multi-day visit to Kentucky, and brings us the latest news from the tradeshow floor. He’ll bring us the equipment highlights from John Deere, Massey, AGCO and more, as well as the scuttlebutt from around the event on what might be ahead in the tech and equipment space. We’ll hear about new autonomy tools that will be in the field this season, the latest on cutting-edge drones, and talk through the turn towards smaller equipment by exhibitors hoping to appeal to growers on tighter budgets. 

Then we’ll dig into the wildest and unexpected sights at the show, including a very fun 3D farm shop designer.
