Proven in the most demanding of ag conditions, CLEANFIX reversible fans provide the most efficient diesel engine cooling and radiator cleaning available. The multi-patented reversing fan technology maintains machine cooling as needed and, when required, provides the strongest blowout of dust and debris -- without halting or slowing operations.
Dealers Take Note: We Are Not Inadequate
In his latest blog on Rural Lifestyle Dealer, Tim Brannon writes, “Mainstream America has no clue what real issues are, like warranty claims, customers who don't read the operators manual but look at YouTube videos from some idiot expert who can only operate a camera, or the ones who come in at 5 PM with an armload of literature from all day shopping and ask ‘Can you beat this 27-item package deal?’”
Kibble Equipment Displays Last Plow Sold by Deere
The last plow sold by John Deere was on display at MN FarmFest last week. For 186 years, John Deere has sold a traditional moldboard plow, but that run has ended with this 7-bottom 3710 plow. Definitely a significant moment in John Deere history.
Precision Planting Research Farm Hosts Strip-Till Workshop
Precision Planting’s PTI Farm opened its doors to over 100 farmers for a special workshop ahead of the 10th annual National Strip-Tillage Conference in central Illinois. Check out some of the top highlights from the event, including cutting-edge UAVs in action.
How We Did It Docuseries: Calmer Corn Heads (part 1)
Learn more about how Calmer faced challenges both in the field and in turning his ideas into reality in part 1 of the extended three-part video interview in this episode of the “How We Did It” Docuseries.
University of Florida Plans New Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture
The University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences is preparing to construct a new Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence in Wimauma, a rural area in Hillsborough County. The project, which is estimated to cost around $20 million, aims to enhance the use of artificial intelligence in agriculture. The center will include a state-of-the-art research shop equipped with the necessary tools and equipment for the design and development of robotic technologies for agriculture.
