NAEDA Raises Money at NADC for Financial Assistance & Scholarship Programs

The North American Equipment Dealers Association (NAEDA) announces that almost $100,000 was raised for the Equipment Dealers Foundation and the Canada Equipment Dealers Foundation at NAEDA’s 2024 annual North American Dealer Conference that was held in Dallas, Texas, January 29-31. The funds were raised through a live auction of items that were donated by NAEDA’s industry partners.

Both foundations provide financial assistance through dealership employee scholarships, capital funding and high school ag tech programs, which includes the Technicians for Tomorrow Program and support for high school guidance counselors to help promote careers in agriculture. Over the lifetime of the foundations, close to 4 million dollars has been provided for these scholarships, capital funding to tech training facilities and workforce development programing.

NAEDA thanks Ritchie Bros, Federated Mutual Insurance, Federated Canada, Seigfreid Bingham and Kohler for their unique auction items. The support provided by these companies is part of the annual support they provide to NAEDA’s fundraising events, which include clay shoots and golf tournaments that are held throughout the year.

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
