On Thursday, September 12, 2018, the local Falls City FFA Chapter attended Husker Harvest Days in Grand Island, Nebraska. The Chapter arrived at the event around 9:30, having drove four hours to get there. All students that attended wore Abilene Machine t-shirts and took a picture in front of the Abilene booth. After the photo was taken, students were free to walk around and explore the large number of booths. Many companies were there, such as: John Deere, Case IH, Ford, Chevy, Prinsco, Big Iron, AgriGold, Golden Harvest, and many more. This was a great learning opportunity, even though it was also fun. Students could get on and in equipment to see how everything was set, they could stop and talk to representatives at each booth to learn about what their company did, and they were able to learn more about a lot of different careers and aspects in agriculture. Many booths showcased the newest and most popular technology at the moment, allowing students to learn more about it hands on. Students were able to see how technology has changed overtime, even since just last year. Everyone came home with a lot of new pens, hats, and many other things they picked up throughout the day.
