It's Fun to See What People are Noticing at Husker Harvest Days

One of my favorite things about farm shows is watching what people get excited about.

For the last couple of days, I've been walking the show at Husker Harvest Days looking for who has what nifty new products. But I can't help stopping to see what has everybody's attention when I see a group gathered around one particular tent.

GPS-guided anything gets attention, along with better grain drying and storage systems, and the latest in welding and cutting equipment.

The crowds also gathered around to learn more about new herbicide technology and the latest in grain handling and unloading equipment.

So far the weather has been great and Thursday is forecast to be another beautiful day.

If you're close enough to come on by, make the drive to Grand Island. There's a lot to see.
