Agriculture in Europe is far more prestigious than it is in North America. At their shows, most factory reps wear suits and document who they talk to and actually listen to what the attendees have to say. Their products are displayed more creatively and professionally to better highlight their benefits and to be more eye-catching (CLAAS is trying this at the major shows over here). If you have not been to this show, forget Louisville and trek to Germany for an incredible "one-of-a-kind" farm show. I wish our National Farm Machinery Show was this professional.
I could not agree more. After attending Agritechnica in 2007 and SIMA in 2009, our North American shows have a long ways to go. I know that the AEM is trying to build something on the order of Agritechnica with AgConnect but I am really struggling to see how they're going to make it fly. |
