Farm Bureau Partners With Case-IH Agriculture

Mar 18, 2013

As the result of a partnership between the California Farm Bureau Federation and international agricultural equipment maker Case-IH, Farm Bureau members in California are now eligible for a discount on agricultural equipment.

Depending on the tractor or implement acquired, farmers and ranchers can save between $300 and $500 on Case-IH equipment, including Farmall Compact tractors, self-propelled windrowers, large square balers, round balers, disk mower conditioners and more.

"Farmers and ranchers rely on their equipment day in and day out to help get the job done on the farm," said California Farm Bureau Federation President Paul Wenger. "Our partnership with Case-IH is a valuable one, because it helps our members acquire high-quality equipment that will be used for years to come, and encourages farming families to work through their local Case-IH dealerships and support California businesses."

There is no limit to the number of discounts that a Farm Bureau member may use, as long as it's no more than one per unit acquired. Case-IH encourages farmers to negotiate the best deal with their preferred Case-IH dealer and then add the manufacturer's incentive discount to the bottom line.

To qualify, Farm Bureau members must present a Membership Verification Certificate to the Case-IH dealer in advance of product delivery. Members should visit

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
