Case IH breaks 700 horsepower mark

An August announcement from Case IH claimed it’s the “year of the tractor” for that brand, as it debuts seven new or redesigned models at the U.S. Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Illinois.

There were several new Farmall models introduced, including the novel 75C Electric version. But the tractor most likely to steal the spotlight at the show, along with attracting the most interest from prairie growers, was the Steiger 715 Quadtrac, which becomes the first standard production tractor to break the 700 horsepower mark.

“We launched our model year 2024 Steiger lineup from the 425 to 645 at our National Farm Machinery Show launch earlier this year,” says Tom Curley, Case IH global product manager for Steiger.

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.
