The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas brings together industry professionals and enthusiasts from electronics and technology every year and the agricultural community is no exception.

With their Bluetooth app Cub Connect, the first in the lawn care industry, Cub Cadet’s XT Enduro Series of lawn tractors is being hailed as one of the best Bluetooth-enabled products.

Cub Connect, a finalist in the international awards competition at the Bluetooth Breakthrough Awards event, can provide owners with real-time information when it comes to maintenance and monitoring right to their smartphone.

"Regular maintenance isn't top-of-mind for most riding mower owners. They want the process to be easy and convenient," said Emily Sword, director of brand marketing for Cub Cadet in a release. "With Cub Connect, you don't have to rely on mental reminders - your tractor communicates directly with your smartphone when maintenance is needed and makes it easy to get it done and off your mind."

The Cub Connect app currently connects to select Bluetooth enabled Cub Cadet XT Enduro Series mowers including:

XT1 LT 54 Lawn Tractor
XT1 LT54 Fabricated Lawn Tractor
XT1 GT 50 Garden Tractor
XT2 GX 54 Fabricated Garden Tractor

Cub Connect also connects to the following Bluetooth enabled Cub Cadet Zero Turn riding mowers:

RZT S 46 Fabricated Zero Turn Riding Mower
RZT S 54 Fabricated Zero Turn Riding Mower
RZT L 46 Fabricated Zero Turn Riding Mower

The winner will be announced on March 1 in Barcelona, Spain during the Mobile World Congress.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
