RECORD CROWDS and exhibitors kept all signs of the recession far away from the popular National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, KY. Many manufacturers brought new equipment and products to introduce to show attendees.
The hottest items this year were planters, particularly the Case IH 3660 Early Riser model and John Deere's DB 120model with 48 rows.

Although show goers are always interested in the big brand manufacturers, they also can find thousands of useful products from hundreds of smaller companies at the show. Team FIN member Scott McPheeters walked the aisles and found several innovative tools for the farm.
