During the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, we caught up with Stacy Anthony with AGCO dealer AgRevolution. He’s optimistic for 2026 and says there could be a turnaround this year. And while that’s still to be seen, he says we just need a couple adjustments economically to see farmers start reinvesting in and updating their fleets. 

“We're optimistic for [2026], we're prepared for whatever it delivers. If it continues to give us another flat year, we're prepared for that, but quite honestly we do think we're on the bring of a turnaround.”

He says the farmer outlook varies depending on their operation, but most producers are cautiously optimistic. 

“And I think that they're looking for a way to manage and control inputs and they know that the price is going to be what it is for commodities. But to me, I think that they're fairly optimistic. It ties right back into precision and what it can do to lower your cost and maximize you top-line revenue.”
