Snapshots World Ag Expo

Each second week in February, Tulare, Calif., welcomes agriculture enthusiasts from around the world for World Ag Expo which is claimed to be the world's largest farm show. In its 42nd year, the 2009 event was no exception to its reputation of grand scale and home to every type of equipment and machinery, and let's not forget the popular tri-tip sandwiches. Don't think it was just about corn and cows either. World Ag Expo also features equipment serving some of the lesser-known agricultural industries such as tomatoes, grapes, and cotton. You can find a slide show below for some snapshots of the week. It was clear that, despite a gloomy economy, enthusiasts enjoyed learning what the newest innovations were and how they could impact a farmer's bottom line. Did you attend World Ag Expo?
