Farmers and ranchers have had to make some tough decisions over the last few years.
Ag equipment manufacturers have also felt the pinch, with more farms cutting back on capital purchases, like tractors. CNH says it is trying to meet farmers where they are.
“It’s in the challenging times that we need our machines to be part of the solution, right?
