John Deere, Case IH, or someone would produce a small line of equipment, with 25% of the current electronics and sensors, that would enable smaller producers to stay in the game.
Smaller producers don't need new equipment. Actually a lot of the large producers don't either. But thankfully they are buying them so we have something to buy 5 or 10 years later.
I'm wondering if the rub is the 500 or so acre farmer in the corn belt that has always been able to trade pu's to combines on a regular basis and not work on anything(just like dad and grandad did) have come to the point where the tank is running dry and it is starting to hurt? New equipment is overrated. Going to the coffee shop is overrated. |
Farm economics wouldn’t be quite so daunting if…
