But, what about us less-classy farmers here in NE IL? We only wear suits to funerals & weddings (same?).

What if we kind of like our FPS & NFMS the way it is? Maybe tweaking small improvements, but please don't stand our tractors on their hind end or bolt equipment to a wall 20' in the air. Makes great photos, but hard to relate to in our everyday life.

Actually, if the non-N.A. folks would prefer to not meddle w/lower-class, bib overall wearing, stick carrying working people, that would be fine w/me. I think it's waaaaayyyyyy too crowded @ the NFMS (aka Louisville) anyway. I've asked why not something bigger in size for Louisville, but most of the sponsors suggest "cost considerations". However, it appears to me there are no "cost considerations" in the European show.

Phil, thanks for the great photos. Can you give us some type of daily costs for visitors that may be considering forgoing NFMS for the Agri show? Room rate?

Food prices?

Drink prices?

Evening tractor pull entry prices?

Fuel prices (local)

Thanks
