A positive outlook for ag equipment

A regional sales manager with Kubota says the market for ag equipment remains strong despite the down farm economy.

David Lease says farmers are investing in both new and used equipment as they continue to face tight margins.

“As the economy stays a little bit stale in the farming sector, equipment is going to wear out so people are looking at new equipment, but good valued used equipment is also being received well,” he says.

He tells Brownfield growers should invest in equipment as needed and maintain equipment.

“I think that farming is still challenging today and I think you want to invest your dollars where you’re going to get the most out of your product,” he says.

Lease spoke to Brownfield at the Fort Wayne Farm Show.
