In the front lot of CNY Farm Supply in Cortland, N.Y., U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer announced legislation on Tuesday designed to help farmers invest in new equipment and collect on the value of their current equipment.
To help U.S. farmers more confidently make year-end equipment purchase decisions, Summers Manufacturing has launched its Section 179 Assurance program.
Final results from Farm Equipment's 2015 Dealer Business Outlook & Trends survey indicates that equipment early orders are down compared to what North American farm equipment dealers have seen over the past few years.
Of course, it’s still up in the air, but it shouldn’t come as a total surprise if ag equipment sales pick up in December. First, while the cash crop segment of the industry undergoes a market “correction” in a downward correction, the livestock and forage segment is heading in a very positive direction.
There's little doubt that the generous Section 179 equipment expensing and bonus depreciation provisions helped boost U.S. farm equipment sales during the past several years.
There's little doubt that escalating commodity prices since 2007 have resulted in higher farm incomes and fueled a steady rise in farm machinery sales.
If the depreciation bonus rules disappear at the end of 2013, farmers may be looking beyond new machinery to invest the additional dollars from high commodity prices that they booked in the past year.
By the numbers, all signs continue to point to strong finish to the year for farm equipment and agriculture in general. And if you like numbers, here's a few to chew on.
