When it comes to news about the farm machinery sector, spring tends to be a relatively quiet time. There are a couple of big farm shows in the U.S. over the winter, at which the major brands unveil some of their newest offerings. Then there’s typically a lull until the summer-season shows begin, where the machinery introductions ramp up again. But this spring, machinery markets are not just quiet but unusually quiet.

Being able to cool stored grain has taken on more importance in recent years, as growers push the limits of suitable harvesting conditions to maximize equipment efficiency. So the older hopper bins without aeration that have been populating farmyards for decades now have limited uses, especially when it comes to storing grain harvested in less-than-ideal conditions. The cost and effort to upgrade them to aeration bins often makes that option unrealistic.
