Episode: Farm Machinery Issues and Trends - AEM Curt Blades
Description: Curt Blades is with the Agricultural Equipment Manufacturers Association. His organization puts out monthly statistics that show sales of a range of farm equipment from small to large. Â
We go back to his first job with Machinery Link and even to AgriShop as the only paid advertiser. (I invented advertising for Death to America Home Computers and Dead Serious Funeral Homes-Franchises Available.)Â
Our talk is mostly about the disruption of the machinery industry by the 2020 COVID Pandemic. We project forward to alternative powered vehicles versus diesel.  We project the "Carbon Capture Economy" for agriculture.
