I was hoping yesterday that you would share your pictures.  I took my wife's digital camera, and left it in the truck.  As soon as we had passed the gate and I started seeing things I wanted a picture of, I remembered, but didn't want to go back to the truck to get it.

A lot of the pictures you took would have been duplicates of mine, had I remembered the camera.  As I said before, I was close to you when the corn picking took place, but lost you in the crowd.  I kept looking to see if I happened to have been in your camera shots.  Thanks for sharing your pictures.

I have been thinking about the show now for several days, and almost decided I liked it better than the Farm Progress Show.  The crowd seemed much more friendly and polite, and I didn't get the feeling a cart was going to run over me all the time like I do at FPS.  Of course, this equipment is from my farming beginning, I kept seeing things a neighbor had or we had on the farm.  But several farming equipment pieces shown I had only seen in advertisments.

Over by the big hangar near the tractor pull site was an international Harvester no till planter, I believe the first I ever heard of.  I believe it was around 1950 I saw ads and pictures in the farm magazines, was hoping you might have a picture of it.  It was mounted on an M Farmall like a two row cultivator, the front end had a fertilizer box and two large sweeps like the Buffalo planters used, then about three crow foot packer wheels, and the back a two row planter unit.  I never saw one in use, but was excited for the future when I first saw pictures of it.
