    The sale included roughly 30 major lots consigned by various exhibitors on the show grounds, as well as several smaller items.

    The items on the block covered a broad range, everything from a case of diesel fuel conditioner consigned by Milligan Bio-Tech to a 1998 IHC 9200 tandem-axle grain truck, entered by Automatic Truck and Trailer Sales.

    The newest machine on the sale listing was a Miller St. Nazianz 2008 Spray-Air Trident 3600-series sprayer.

    But the items list isn’t confined strictly to agricultural equipment. Other lots range from an unused Global Finishing Solutions spray-paint booth to a VIP stay-and-play package for four at the Candle Lake Golf Resort.
