Everything that happens out in the field — from a bountiful yield to a productive harvest — starts with a properly planted seed. And while winter may not be over just yet, properly preparing your planter now can help you get a productivity-boosting head start to the season.
As Decatur, Illinois, becomes the epicenter of U.S. agriculture Sept. 1-3 during the Farm Progress Show, make plans to visit the center of agricultural innovation: the Case IH exhibit. We would enjoy the opportunity to meet you.
At this point in the growing season, yield potential becomes reality. How do your crops look? By estimating yields, you can do more than satisfy your curiosity. Sound estimates can help you prepare for harvest and make better decisions.
Farm-show season not only gives you a firsthand look at new products but also helps you evaluate the purchases and practices you’re considering on your operation. As you make plans to attend your favorite shows and events this fall, be sure to pencil in a visit with Case IH. You’ll find us at events across…
You’ve meticulously gone through your combine. Your trucks are ready to roll. Grain bins, augers and other equipment are clean, lubed and set to move a big crop. But is your shop up to the challenge?
Fall tillage can help lay the foundation for next season’s production. But one tillage plan with a single implement might not be best for every field. A more prescriptive approach can help ensure better returns on your investment.
When you hire seasonal help, the goal is to find employees who can help you get the work done. Investing a little time up front can help you avoid hiring employees who would add to your workload.
Fall is a rewarding time of year. But it’s hectic. And the pace seems to intensify every year as tillage and fertilizer applications become almost as important as getting the crop out. The right equipment can help you get it all done.

Harvest starts at your combine’s header. It’s also where you can begin to reduce grain losses and increase harvest efficiency. As you prep your combine for fall, consider upgrading to the latest header technology.

Consider when — or if — you take off another cutting and how that could affect the long-term productivity of your hay fields.
