We attended the World Ag Expo, commonly known as the Farm Show, in Tulare for three days. A large amount of that time was volunteering for the Love, INC. concession stand assembling burgers, making and selling popcorn and cotton candy, or taking customer orders. We did some walking around and saw most of the new products and technology. It is interesting to see the amount of science that goes into agriculture.
Keith drove a Toyota Sequoia around their test drive course. He was impressed with the SUV's handling but disappointed with the gas mileage (14mpg /city, 19 mpg/ highway) and price ($55,000 fully loaded).
The view from the top of the hill.
We all got a T-shirt from Massey-Ferguson that says " Nobody loves the earth more than a farmer."
We gathered a herd of squishy cows for Janine to give to the city kids at college who were wondering how many "squeezy things" a cow has.
Here is more of the loot we gathered. We should have enough pens and pencils for another year!

I'm glad to see you all had a good time at World Ag Expo. Looks like you collected a bunch of great stuff. We look forward to having you back in 2010.
