Did anyone see the piece on "This Week in Agribusiness" last night on the RFD network that they did on the Rock Island plant? Pretty cool. They were in the plant as it sits today, but also lots of really cool old pictures and interviews with past employees. Neat to see.

I believe it is replayed throughout the week.

I don"t believe it is gone. It appears to be in great disrepair, but is very much there. They said Navistar owns it now. Max Armstrong was just there for a brief visit and had some past employees bring their tractors there. Looked pretty cool with these shiny red tractors and the decrepit building - paint peeling and falling, trash piled up, broken windows, rain and snow falling through leaks in the ceiling - far cry from what it once was.

Might have been the one that was on the morning farm show Saturday morning. Forget which channel. Yes neat.
