AgTech Expo 2018

Farm Journal AgTech Expo 2018 was a great event I attended earlier this week.  Instead of taking numerous pages of notes, I decided to tweet out threads of each session I went to. Much of what I tweeted was paraphrasing, not quotes. Most of my personal thoughts are in parenthesis (). Apologies for any grammatical errors (still need that edit button, Twitter).

– Click on the white space in the middle box to see the entire threads
– All credit for content in photos of slides to presenters
– Some of this is shorthand, let me know if you have questions.
