The National Farm Machinery Show has been a winter highlight for agriculture for more than 50 years and for the 51st the feeling is no different. Even in a soft ag economy it's fund to go to a show and look at new equipment. The Farm Industry News Team, accompanied by Team FIN members Daryl and Peggy Bridenbaugh, took a quick walk around to see what highlights we could grab before the event officially opens.

We saw a few things that we've pulled together into this gallery. From the new 2017 Ford Super Duty F Series pickup truck - and yes it uses aluminum too - to a few machines under wraps, we saw quite a bit. So go through this quick gallery of images we ran across. And don't forget to follow us on Twitter, or check our Facebook page too. We'll be posting all week, and more galleries and coverage is to come.

Enjoy this opening preview gallery.
