September 20, 2024: Automation with Mach, Corn and Soybeans Harvest Underway

This week, we provide updates on the corn and soybean harvest, along with tips for maintaining your mental and physical health during National Farm Safety and Health Week, which is being observed now. Additionally, we discuss how recent Federal Reserve rate cuts could benefit farmers. You'll also get the latest on the Farm Bill, including how a recently passed act in the House aims to protect U.S. farmland from foreign ownership. Plus, we cover updates on market trends and fertilizer prices. In this week's interview, we speak with Mach, a company collaborating with numerous brands behind the scenes, to explore the future of autonomous agricultural equipment. Colin Hurd, CEO, and Rhett Schidroth, CTO—both industry pioneers with years of experience in ag tech innovation—share insights on the state of the industry. We’d love to see your first day of harvest photos! Tag us or send them to [email protected], and feel free to get creative—our team will be sharing theirs too. Follow us daily with agriculture content on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube in addition to our weekly videos!
