There was a colouring in competition going on yesterday too. I had to walk past a couple of times to check that folks weren't missing any bits [emoji41]

last day for me tomorrow.
never seen so little that this years. had good talks & looking forward to have some more.
At least we got our "termination without glyphosate" roling.
The 4 from the US are an awson crowd. 2 got into Germany without showing any pasport leaving their plain in Berlin. one other got off the airplane & into Germany without his pasport. Will be interesting to see how we get him back to Trump land.
I can get better beer for less cost than the free beers at agritechnica. the Case party last night was awsome. >500 people & a able to mingle with CEO of Case isn't a chance often presented.

We have about 500 photos to work the way through and a load of videos - will start adding them over the next few days. Its hard to exaplin how big some of the stands are, the John Deere stand must have had 1500 people on it alone!

IIRC, the whole site is about 250 acres, it takes a bit of getting around.(y)

The scale is incredible, as are some of the stands, which are massive, yet you haven't ever heard of them. Second time I have seen the Arbos stand (they were at Agritechnica 2015) and its getting bigger, not sure they will ever make the UK and the cream/white interior is an interesting feature, but a brand that is aiming to grow for sure!

I'll keep adding more pictures and some videos over the next few days as I have time. A lot of the time finding out what was new on the stands was difficult as there is just so much there.

Here are some pictures from the Horsch stand, where the new updates where the Leeb GS, with automatic tyre inflation/deflation fitted. The new tech was the Row Control, where they had a demo unit demonstrating the concept and it is what was used to do this apparently:

Was interesting hearing about that in more detail and when it will be commercially available.

Was reading about a drill the other day that was 35 ton empty! Costs $600,000! Couldn't believe it. It's supposedly the most accurate drill going though.
