Seems like everyone is either woke or reverse woke. A company makes people mad either way lol. Just buy the best tractor for you and let others do the same. No social justice warrioring needed.

The ag stuff that makes JD most of its money is so different than 90% of the equipment people use here, they don’t have a clue about it.

True. The precision farming techniques that are used today to increase productivity rely on computer controls. Few profitable farms are still doing things the way that granddad did.

What has Mahindra done for US factory workers that JD has not?
Did they fire a buckload of US based factory workers like Juan Deere did?

It's a big country. Computers might be popular for corporate farming in the midwest & sourthwest, but there are still plenty of farms around here doing things the way grandad did. And a lot of them are still using grandad era tractors and implements.
We spent a few months last fall in in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho visiting friends on family farms. Sure enough, they were mostly using older tractors there too. Not many of them were Deeres, though.

For sure, but they aren’t the people who are doing the precision farming on thousands of acres. Those are the people with the highly computerized Deere equipment.

You're probably right about the big Deere equipment. On the way back from the coast we went through southeastern Arizona just because we never had. To my surprise, we found mile after mile of HUGE irrigated farms stretching for through entire valleys - occasionally interrupted with new towns built with houses all alike.

The ag field equipment is 100% brand new JD - mostly on tracks, instead of wheels - and a lot of the tractors are the size of earthmovers.

It would take a lot of family farms to equal just one of those giants - but then we do still have lots of family farms. So maybe we are OK.

I’m glad that we still have a mix of family and corporate farms. NM is a real mixed bag. In the southern part of the state we have huge corporate farms that grow pecans, chile, onions and melons. In the eastern part, huge industrial farms growing alfalfa for the huge industrial dairies. But lots of small family farms growing the same crops at smaller scales.

In Colorado we don't have many big corporate farms. A lot is slighly irrigated- basically dryland farming or mountain hay meadows. Our climate is just a little too cool & dry for big yields.

I’m a bit confused. I’ve seen a lot of large corporate farms in the eastern plains of Colorado. Are they gone now? Huge feedlots with the grain and hay production to support them.
