Another Farm Progress Show is in the books, and this post is a walk-through of what stood out most in Decatur, from the “wow” factor machines to the quieter moments that actually shape the industry. It digs into a few pieces of innovation that kept pulling you in (including an electric Weed Zapper, the White Big Bud + Big Buddy setup, and a drone that feels like a glimpse of what’s next), but filters everything through a practical question: does it truly make sense for a real operation once you run the numbers? It also previews a run of conversations recorded on-site with farmers, creators, and even IndyCar driver Kyle Kirkwood, and explains why those face-to-face exchanges are still the most valuable part of a show like this.
