Did anyone go to the National Farm Machinery Show this week. If you did, did you take an orange to the agco area. I was there wed afternoon and I set an orange on the counter which was quickly moved by the agco people. I asked where the rest of the oranges were and the guy said he was eating them. I dont know if he was serious or not.
Anyone else go?

Great job Johnny! I didn't figure they would leave them out on display. I would guess, truth be known, most of the Agco employees are embarassed by the current state of affairs.

If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done!

Maybe the trick would be to eat the orange yourself and drop the peels around the AGCO display...

Aint no snow; its sunny + 80 !!!!! I think the oranges should go to Richenhagens office ; where ever that is , Georgia ??? it seems its not in North America ; maybe the old Hitler offices , long ago when they had a MF displayed outside of Agco headquarters - I knew it wouldnt be good ; I like the orange peel idea too, or spray paint !!!

Need to have a gathering of the orange close to where Richenhagens office is. Then have a tractor drive right through the city in front of his office and stage a protest with about 10,000 tractors. I think that would get some national attention.

I was there yesterday. Didn't see any oranges. Wondered what they were doing with them. They sure spent a ton of money on their display I thought. I didn't count but seemed to be way more challenger tractors than massey and agco. The agcos they had were BIG and looked good. That massey combine looked good I thought. There were alot of people around the gleaner. The caseIH guy was showing off the cvt in thier tractor and I couldn't help thinking of where that idea came from!

A drop or two of hydraulic fluid, injected into each orange, would get them going, nicely!
