Happy New Year! And the Winners of the Top 10 New Products Contest Are...

It’s the calm before the storm here at Farm Equipment headquarters on New Year’s Eve. With our Precision Farming Dealer Summit set for Jan. 6-7 in Louisville, Ky., and the upcoming issue of Farm Equipment going to print just 2 weeks after that, January is always the most action-packed month of the year for us.

February is a close second with the National Farm Machinery Show and the World Ag Expo taking place at the same time on the week of Feb. 10 (apologies to my wife Alex, looks like I’ll be a little late for Valentine’s Day dinner). 2025 will start with a bang, and I can’t wait to check out some of the new technology on display at these shows, including the following winners of the World Ag Expo’s Top 10 New Products contest

Video: $400m loss to save $3.8m? The real cost of closing Canada's research farms | Agri cmte, 10 Feb 2026

Officials are forced to defend cutting a historic $3.8 million research farm while the government simultaneously funded an $8.5 million cricket factory that went bankrupt. Is this evidence of an incoherent spending strategy? Watch the full committee clash to see the government's official rationale.

A heated discussion erupts over the logic behind the government's cuts to AAFC research farms in Lacombe, Indian Head, and Quebec City. MPs question why core, decades-old scientific infrastructure is being deemed 'not core' while other, controversial programs were funded. The Deputy Minister is repeatedly pressed for the actual net savings of the decision versus the expense of relocating research programs.
