In today's newscast we look at results from Ag Equipment Intelligence's 2015 Dealer Business Outlook & Trends survey, USDA's forecast for rising livestock and dairy cash receipts, the impact this year's large harvest is having on U.S. transportation systems and infrastructure and the evolution of smarter tires in agriculture.
It wasn't that long ago that the dealers we spoke with weren't feeling at all certain about their business prospects for the year ahead. Many of their customers who were most impacted by the 2012 drought were in a "bad mood" as they watched their crops wither in the field. Talking about buying new ag equipment wasn't high on their list of priorities.
