World Ag Expo highlights

This is what the World Ag Expo in Tulare, California looks like...in February, no less. Notice anything peculiar? No? Well, you must be from a warmer climate than I am because February in the Midwest means we're still blanketed with plenty of the white stuff and it's not going anywhere anytime soon.  

This combine was pretty cool. I took a photo in case Dad wants to get one.

Now, is it just me, or is everyone in CA really super nice, because most of the booths we passed had friendly coffee stations just like this one.

Probably the most sobering display was this one which shows the world population in 1400 AD on the left, 1900AD in the middle, and projected world population in only 40 years on the right. Pretty amazing to think how much responsibility agriculture has to ensure all of these people will have enough food on decreasing farm land.

While all of this was pretty cool, I'll tell you all about my most favorite discovery of the entire World Ag Expo tomorrow.
