Mahindra NA Supports American Manufacturing with I Make America Event

Equipment Manufacturer Celebrates Manufacturing Jobs

Mahindra North America celebrated manufacturing jobs and pro-manufacturing policies when it hosted an I Make America event at its Chattanooga, Tenn. distribution center on July 11.

Mahindra NA, which is one of the fastest-growing manufacturers of tractors in the United States, held the event to help promote pro-manufacturing solutions and economic investment as manufacturing voters in Tennessee and across the country prepares to go to the polls in November’s general election.

“We wanted to welcome I Make America to our assembly and distribution center in Chattanooga because we believe in doing all we can to promote the economic contribution of the entire manufacturing industry and our continued investment in local communities across the county.” said Mani Iyer, president and CEO for Mahindra USA. “Mahindra is proud of the jobs it supports here and across the United States, and we hope to help elected leaders understand how manufacturing helps form the backbone of the American economy.”

I Make America is a grassroots campaign launched five years ago by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), a global trade association representing manufacturers of farm, construction, utility and mining equipment in North America. I Make America is dedicated to raising awareness of sound public policies that benefit the entire equipment manufacturing industry.

In 2016, I Make America will visit over three dozen manufacturers to engage both employees and elected officials on the issues that matter to manufacturers. Today’s event at Mahindra was the company’s first I Make America event at one of the company’s facilities in the United States.

“We were thrilled to visit Mahindra because their story is emblematic of the success we are trying to highlight through I Make America,” said Dennis Slater, the president of AEM. “Mahindra’s success means they are supporting more jobs here in Tennessee, as well as in Kansas, Pennsylvania, California, Arkansas and at its Texas headquarters. We hope the I Make America campaign can further support growth at Mahindra, and at manufacturers across our industry.”

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.

It has rained in South America in the last 7 days, but both the American and European models agree that Central Brazil remains dry in the next 14-days!
