Fendt® Shines at The Great American Farmers Market 2025 with Golden Tractor in U.S. Capitol

Aug 14, 2025

AGCO (NYSE: AGCO), a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery and precision ag technology, showcased a one-of-a-kind golden Fendt® tractor at the U.S. Capitol from August 3 – 8, commemorating the Great American Farmers Market, a weeklong celebration of food, family and farming. This striking machine features a full gold exterior, a patriotic window wrap and a Farmer-First message: “We Support American Farmers.”

Built in Jackson, Minnesota, the shiny Fendt 1167 Vario^® MT track tractor symbolizes Fendt’s commitment to U.S. growers, exemplified by the brand’s Gold Star Customer Care program. Every Fendt product includes a three-year full warranty with maintenance and inspections.

“Fendt is proud to stand with American farmers,” said Mike Long, Vice President, Fendt North America. “This golden tractor is a tribute to their resilience, innovation and the vital role they play in helping feed the world.”

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins was the first to sign the tractor earlier this year at Commodity Classic in Denver. Several dignitaries added their signatures last week in Washington D.C.

Following its Capitol appearance, the golden tractor will return to the Fendt Lodge in Jackson, Minnesota, the brand’s official North American home, before heading to the Farm Progress Show in Illinois later this month to continue its celebration of American farmers.

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.
