It’s farming’s biggest outdoor event, and more than 150,000 people are descending on Decatur, Illinois, for the Farm Progress Show. New technologies are unveiled, plot tours, and lots of businesses are eager to go into detail about what they have to offer.
The three-day event started on Tuesday. Here’s a look at what’s been happening so far, thanks to Twitter.

A cool half mil for this huge sprayer. I am guessing not much interest at $3.00 corn. Still very impressive. #fps2017 pic.twitter.com/tQX60oLggF
