The charge to the Farm Progress team of editors who cover the farm shows each year is to talk with exhibitors and discover new products. The team generally considers a product new if it went to market recently and wasn’t exhibited at the previous Farm Progress Show or Husker Harvest Days.

This year’s team of four editors had no trouble uncovering plenty of new products. You will see stories featuring a total of roughly 250 new products, grouped by category. Some are so new that the model exhibited at the show was the only one in existence. In one case, the exhibit consisted of a poster promising that the product was coming. In another case, it was a 3-D printed rendition of what a new strip-till row unit will look like once it is actually built and marketed in 2018.

Sometimes during the search for new products, editors uncover products that aren’t new but are still intriguing. It’s always a product they haven’t written about before. Sometimes the product has never been shown at that particular farm show, even if it’s been around for some time.

Here is information on three such products: an electric wheelbarrow for specific uses, a tillage machine that has migrated to the U.S. from Australia, and a header attachment that keeps more soybeans in the header instead of allowing them to fall on the ground.

Here’s trusting you will find these products interesting, too.
