Nothing gets a farmer's engine running like talking about machinery. Successful Farming Machinery Show brings a half-hour of this favorite topic to RFD-TV viewers.

The familiar voices of farm machinery are back -- host Dave Mowitz guiding you to farm shops and antique machinery shows, Laurie Bedord showing you the latest new technology, and Machinery Pete taking you to used equipment auctions around the country.

Viewers meet some of the most innovative and resourceful producers in agriculture. Not only do they share their inspired ideas, they'll tell you what they'd do differently if they had it to do over again.

One of the most popular sections in Successful Farming magazine is "All Around the Farm." For nearly 80 years farmers have been sending in their ideas in an effort to save each other time and money. See this feature come to life by witnessing the ingenuity of American farmers today as they share their practical and thrifty solutions for getting the job done.

In "Top Shop Tours", host Dave Mowitz visits shop floors, offices, hoists, oil-change areas, lubrication centers, storage, heating, lighting and even break rooms. Viewers get ideas for their existing work areas or for planning their "dream shops" from farmers who put years of thought into their facilities.

As always, Successful Farming Machinery Show is especially proud to present Greg "Machinery Pete" Peterson. This is the man farmers, dealers, and ag bankers have depended on for nearly two decades to determine dollar values on farm iron. Peterson compiles actual sale prices from 750 auctioneers and dealers across the U.S. On this show he boils the data down and adds invaluable insights for buying and selling used farm equipment.

Other regular features include "Hot Iron" and "Cool Tools"– New Products Editor, Laurie Bedord, offers a sort of Sears Wish Book for anyone with an eye for tools or ag machinery. Learn about these brand-new products from Successful Farming Machinery Show and make better-informed purchases. Or, at least, impress friends by running down the specs.
