Farms.com is excited for subscribers of its Machinery Newsletter to receive a fourth special edition newsletter on Monday, April 22.

The newsletter continues to highlight products and technologies a Farms.com team highlighted at the National Farm Machinery Show (NFMS) in Louisville, Ky., in February.

In total, the Farms.com team conducted more than 70 video interviews with industry reps, and are working hard to bring that content to you.

“More than 4,500 of you engaged with the previous NFMS newsletter from last week,” said Ryan Ridley, digital marketing and PR manager with Farms.com. “The production of the videos and the outgoing newsletters are a true team effort and we’re excited to see the response thus far.”

Each newsletter highlights nine pieces of equipment, technologies or initiatives documented at NFMS.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the content readers can expect.

Equipment safety is an important topic, and one demonstration provides a refresher on how to be safe in a tractor.

Dale Dobson, the safety administrator with the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, shows how a ROPS and wearing a seatbelt save lives.

Mark Zastrow, a product manager with MacDon, provides an overview of the company’s new FC Series FlexCorn Header.

Its wings are able to travel 15 degrees, giving 44 inches of movement in a 12-row and 61 inches in a 16-row configuration.

And Kyle Bennett, a sales manager with Brandt, discusses the manufacturer’s high-speed disc lineup.

The sizes range from 16’ to 45’,and can be customized to suit individual needs with different blade and basket options.

In this diverse and dynamic discussion, our panelists will share unique insights on why agriculture matters in ensuring food security, addressing environmental challenges, and navigating economic landscapes. From the fresh perspectives of 5th generation producer Mady Adamson, to the on-farm and business savvy of Manitoba’s own Paul Spenst, to the wisdom of former CEO and marketing expert Kim McConnell and his 40+ years in the business, we aim to explore the common ground that binds generations in recognizing the profound impact of agriculture.

This inclusive dialogue will not only bridge generational gaps but also emphasize the enduring relevance of agriculture across urban and rural Canada, particularly when faced with the realities of continued pressures on our supply chain that continue to drive up the cost of food and food production. Join us for an enriching discussion that spans the ages, unifying diverse viewpoints to foster a collective understanding of the vital role agriculture plays in building a prosperous and sustainable future.
