Farm Equipment
Future-Planned Facilities
The Farm Equipment team took to the road this winter to interview manufacturers and find the latest, cutting-edge products. With a mix of model improvements and upgrades and new products, the winter farm shows debuted a variety of planting equipment, precision farming technology, hay and forage products, tillage systems and more.
We visited the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, Ky., from Feb. 15-17. Held at the Kentucky Exposition Center, the 2017 show covered 1.2 million square feet and featured more than 880 exhibitors.

The Maestro SW 3115 was on display in the Horsch booth. According to Jeremy Hughes, by request of farmers, the unit is now available with tracks to minimize compaction during planting. In addition to high speed planting (increases of 20-40%), this air seeder is available on a 40 foot platform and capable of eliminating a chemical pass, saving time and money. Its electric motor driven seed singulator reportedly leads the industry in seed spacing accuracy.
