We took the kids to the Ag Expo in East Lansing today. It's an anual family trip to see what is going on in the rest of the farming community. Seeing a cow with a trap to her stomach was a great treat for Glenn. After all, they saw it on "Dirty Jobs". Seeing all the new equipment was a treat for Duane and myself. I don't know how realistic it is, but I dream of a robotic milker. And I do have alternitve energy guys coming to see us. We might even get to try out a demo tractor for some wheat planting. The only concern I had all day was at how few farmers are left to enjoy the Expo. And because of our dwindling numbers, there are fewer vendors each year.
