This image is one of many pictures featuring New Holland customers throughout the company’s booth #1048 that will greet visitors at Farm Progress Show, Aug. 28-30, 2018, in Boone, Iowa.

“Farmers have been at the heart of why we do what we do since our founding over 120 years ago. This year, we wanted our presence at Farm Progress to reflect this dedication to them,” says Bret Lieberman, Vice President of New Holland, North America. “Every innovative solution we are showcasing this year was developed to significantly improve the way agriculture producers work so they have more time to spend with their families.”

As such, the New Holland lot includes points of interest for everyone.

• Latest products and enhancements

To enable lot visitors to easily navigate the booth, equipment is grouped specifically by application based on three producer perspectives: Beef Cow-Calf, Dairy & Forage, and Cash Crop. Our featured technology includes the CR7.90 Revelation combine with the IntelliSense™ proactive and automatic combine setting system, which addresses an operator’s biggest challenge of maintaining maximum throughput while keeping losses and damaged grain to a minimum.

• Expertise from firsthand farmers

Lot visitors will have the opportunity to meet with New Holland product experts who are also farmers. “True Blue Farmer” pins signify those on the New Holland team who have firsthand agriculture experience. One of these farmers is Curt Hoffman, Crop Packaging Product Manager, who is a fifth-generation dairy farmer and expert in hay baling. Hoffman will be delivering a 30-minute session during each show day from 11-11:30 a.m. in the Dairy & Forage area on “Producing the Highest-Quality Bales.”

• Interactive fun for the family inside the tent

- Precision farming: a look at how New Holland is powering the future with Precision Land Management (PLM™) by connecting equipment with data collection to increase efficiencies.

- Pedal-tractor course and gigantic-sized games: to entertain the young and young-at-heart, New Holland has a kids pedal-tractor track and games including corn hole and Jenga®.

- Selfie stations: to announce the launch of its Instagram channel (newholland_northamerica), New Holland will have fun selfie frames throughout the lot for visitors to capture their memories.

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.
75% of Tesla shareholders approved a $1 trillion pay package for Elon Musk!
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!
