KIOTI Tractor Power Through Tour Presented By Trace Adkins Raises More Than $32K

Mar 23, 2017

KIOTI Tractor, a division of Daedong-USA, Inc., recently wrapped it’s year-long promotion, the Power Through Tour presented by Trace Adkins, raising $32,220 for Wounded Warrior Project®. In October 2015, KIOTI Tractor hit the road, raffling off Adkins’ personal KIOTI DK65 with attached front end loader and backhoe to benefit the organization. KIOTI delivered the tractor to the winner, Doyle Myers of Shepherd, Texas, in early March.

“I was in disbelief when I found out I won,” said Myers. “I have 55-acres of timberland and can’t wait to put this tractor to good use. I’ve also been a supporter of Wounded Warrior Project for many years and appreciate the contributions made by Trace Adkins and KIOTI Tractor to help heroes on the road to recovery.”

For a $25 donation to Wounded Warrior Project, fans entered for a chance to win Adkins’ own autographed KIOTI DK65 tractor and attached front end loader and backhoe. The promotion closed on October 19, 2016.

KIOTI presented the $32,220 check at their annual dealer meeting in November of 2016. Former Army Staff Sergeant Christopher Gordon accepted the check on behalf of the Wounded Warrior Project.

We’re excited for you to work your land with the same rugged tractor that Trace Adkins used. We know you’ll like it as much as he did.”

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.
