Krone Committed to Innovation Amid Economic Challenges

KRONE North America maintains steady equipment delivery and unveils new innovations ahead of Agritechnica.

Despite ongoing tariff discussions and economic headwinds, KRONE North America continues to deliver both new and established equipment across the U.S. and Canada, reinforcing its commitment to innovation and customer support.

KRONE has implemented a careful and deliberate process to assess tariffs on equipment imported to the U.S. Lars Pasedag, COO of KRONE North America, explains, “In the best interest of our dealers and customers, we are taking this cost-saving measure to examine each effected piece of equipment individually. This allows KRONE to accurately calculate and pay the applicable tariff accordingly.” 

This approach enables KRONE to determine the necessary cost adjustments as a line item, subject to any adjustments based on evolving administration policies.

“With Agritechnica right around the corner, we are launching several new products for North America, says Pasedag. “One we are particularly excited about is our new BiG Pack Gen 6 HDP II, (8-knotter), large square baler. We currently have several machines running in North America displaying density, speed and capacity never seen before in the large square baler market.” 

Pasedag continues, “Farms are getting larger, and labor increasingly difficult to find. KRONE has responded with a new triple mower that cuts just over 41 feet at a time and of course our BiG X, 1180 forage harvester, the largest hp chopper in the world with multiple heads including the 14 row EasyCollect corn header. We have ample machines in stock, ready to help farmers accomplish more with fewer people and less equipment.”

Visit KRONE at Agritechnica in Hannover, Germany, November 9-15, Hall 27, Stand F22, to explore our latest innovations in forage harvesting. 

Regardless of the current agricultural climate, KRONE and KRONE North America remain steadfast in their commitment to long-term partnerships with customers and dealers across the United States. With four strategically located parts warehouses in the U.S. and Canada, and equipment readily available in both countries, KRONE continues to support its partners with reliable solutions that make forage harvesting easier and more efficient.

Supplemental Nitrogen on Soybeans: Can Early Nitrogen Increase Yield?

Video: Supplemental Nitrogen on Soybeans: Can Early Nitrogen Increase Yield?

Can supplemental nitrogen help soybeans reach higher yield potential? Technical Agronomist Tim Sickman walks through an ongoing trial at the Nutrien Innovation Farm in Owensboro, Kentucky, exploring whether a modest amount of nitrogen applied at planting can support higher-yielding soybean environments.

The trial compares 30 pounds of supplemental nitrogen across both 15- and 30-inch rows, along with treatments that include sulfur and micronutrients. Similar trials conducted in 2024 and 2025 delivered a six- to seven-bushel yield response, prompting the team to expand the research this season.

Early observations show that treated soybeans are slightly taller and averaging about two additional nodes on the main stem. These added nodes could create more opportunities for blooms and pods, but the true results will come at harvest when the team evaluates pod development, seed fill and final yield.
