Stephan Nicholson, economist with Rabo AgriFinance, the US division of Rabobank, speaks about the economic gains India is making.

A little rain didn't keep farmers away from Tuesday's opening of the Farm Progress Show. It was wet and muddy in the parking areas, but once you were in, the paved streets and loads and loads of wood chips made it easy to navigate the show.

The Farm Progress Show will continue to run on Wednesday, August 27 and Thursday, August 28.
