The 45th annual World Ag Expo will kick off Tuesday Feb. 14th. It attracts about 100,000 people to the Central Valley every year. One of the reasons, hot new toys like the Yamaha ATVs, the Grizzly 300 model is brand new and has a low price.

"Whether you're a large farmer looking for a fleet vehicle, or a smaller farmer who just needs a transportation 2 wheel drive vehicle, that Grizzly 300 is going to work pretty welll," said Van Holmes, the PR Manager for Yamaha.

This year's top 10 products include a saw from Saw Stop, that has built-in technology to prevent accidents using an electrical charge.

"As soon as it detects a drop in voltage, in five thousands of a second it activates the brake," said Dennis Serrano, with Saw Stop.

The concert series will feature Trace Atkins Tuesday night. Republican Presidential hopeful, Newt Gingrich is expected on Tuesday as well, he'll be making a campaign pit stop. President George W. Bush will be at the Expo Wednesday.

"He's going to be speaking on our Ag Warriors program, which is returning veterans trying to find jobs for them in agriculture," said Patty Colson, the Chairman of the World Ag Expo.

As far as the ATVs go, a great feature is that they're user friendly. Any adult, over 21, interested in one can go on a test drive at the Yamaha demo course.
