We've come a long way from yesterday's tractors and farm equipment. Technologically, environmentally, and from the basis of what the machine can accomplish. Matt Ramage and Karl Huebner with Hutson, Inc — a chain of John Deere dealerships, join me to discuss the farm equipment business. We're paying roughly $1,000 per one rating of horsepower — what is the ROI and what are these machines doing now compared to just a few decades ago? Are autonomous implements coming? (answer: yes, but how soon) Are electric tractors far off? Will we consolidate the machinery biz even more? We discuss all this and more. Sponsored by LandTrust landtrust.com
