Another NFMS newsletter is coming to subscriber inboxes

Subscribers to Farms.com’s free weekly Machinery Newsletter can expect another version dedicated to the National Farm Machinery Show to arrive on Monday, March 24.

This newest edition will feature equipment and technology from Ag Leader, Great Plains, Salford, Massey Ferguson, and more.

Salford, for example, with its HALO VRT, has the industry’s first variable rate tillage machine on a forward folding, high-speed disk frame.

The disks are spaced five inches apart and can be adjusted hydraulically from two to 15 degrees.

Ag Leader introduced farmers to its new InCommand Go 16 display.

The display features many improvements designed to help producers better understand their machine as they are operating in the field.

The display’s 16-inch screen lets farmers have multiple pieces of information on one screen and will support farmers with their precision ag functions as technology gets more advanced.

Newsletter receivers will also learn about a new product from Great Plains.

The BD7510 narrow transport drill’s width when folded up for transport is less than 10 feet.

The unit incorporates seeding and metering technology from the manufacturer’s BD7600 and is available in min-till and no-till configurations.

And Massey Ferguson featured its narrow transport planter.

The unit is available with 12, 16, or 24 rows at 30-inch spacing, and it comes factory-equipped with Precision Planting components.

Farmers also have the option to customize the planter with the Precision Planting technology best suited for their operations.

Don’t miss out on learning about the newest equipment and technology from the floor of the National Farm Machinery Show.

California Farm Bureau 2025 Farm Dog of the Year Contest Winner - Willy - CAFB 107th Annual Meeting

Meet Willy: California Farm Bureau’s 2025 Farm Dog of the Year!

We’re excited to introduce Willy, a miniature long-haired dachshund with a big heart and even bigger courage, and the Grand Prize winner of this year’s Farm Dog of the Year Contest!

Willy may be small, but he’s become an indispensable partner on owner Marshal Hagedorn’s forestry and cattle operations in Shasta, Tehama, and Siskiyou counties. Adopted in 2023, he quickly found his place on the ranch, helping manage critters, tagging along for long days in the woods, and offering unwavering companionship during demanding logging work.

Willy has even taken naturally to moving cattle, surprising calves (and more than a few full-grown cows!) with his burst of energy from the tall grass. As Marshal put it: “He goes with me everywhere every single day.”

Congratulations to Willy and his family, a perfect example of how every good farm dog, no matter the size, helps keep California agriculture running strong.
