In this podcast, AGCO reveals its Ideal combine to North America — the first “clean-sheet” design of an axial combine in the industry in decades. In this week’s Technology Corner segment, we take a look at the challenges dealers face in recruiting and retaining precision service technicians. We also take a look at how large ag equipment sales rebounded in May and how Deere’s retail sales compared to the industry average, the changes in machinery values on Illinois farms over the last 10 years and a deterioration of European dealer sentiment in June.

In this podcast, we discuss what dealers can expect from the new leadership at the Equipment Dealers Assn., farm equipment dealers’ precision revenue growth expectations for 2017, an update on dealer sentiment from Europe and an update on the right to repair battle.
