Why Farmers Believe This Video Should Embarrass John Deere
Check out this blog from No-Till Farmer editor Frank Lessiter about a ridiculous YouTube video that totally paints an inaccurate picture for consumers of what modern-day corn production is all about. Produced by Farming Discovery Quest, this is a group I’d never heard of who says their mission is to show consumers the latest and most efficient agriculture technologies that go into producing the food they eat.

Big Bud & Big Buddy Draw Big Crowds at Farm Progress Show
Demco Products, in partnership with Titan International and in collaboration with Big Equipment Company LLC., the Montana-based manufacturer of the iconic Big Bud tractor brand, showcased the Demco Big Buddy 1300 Dual Auger Grain Cart featuring LSW1400 Goodyear Farm Tires at the Farm Progress Show. Big Buddy was created to accompany the latest addition to the Welker Farms Inc. Big Bud family.
U.S. Senator Lankford Visits P&K Equipment
P&K Equipment welcomed U.S. Senator Lankford to its Kingfisher, Okla., store for a discussion on key legislative priorities.
Could 2027 Mark a Rebound in New Equipment Sales?
As new farm equipment sales continue to decline, the used machinery market is heating up — especially for late-model units. In this episode of the Moving Iron podcast, Casey Seymour and Machinery Pete break down why fewer low-hour machines are hitting auctions and why prices are holding strong despite softer commodity markets and high interest rates. They explore how tight inventory, dealer strategies, and long-term economic pressures are shaping buyer behavior, and whether 2027 might be the tipping point for a new equipment rebound. Plus, Shawn Hackett shares insights from the Pro Farmer Crop Tour, and Aaron Fintel highlights which used machines are driving demand in his region.
Farmers Deal with Historic Flooding
Strip-till fields were hit by a massive rainfall event earlier this month in southeastern Wisconsin. CBS 58 catches up with a couple farmers who received around 10 inches of rain in one day! They’re calling it a 1,000-year event, meaning it had a 1 in 1,000 chance of happening.
