  • A complete series of “new generation” disc mowers — designed for today’s tougher mowing conditions, increased acres and faster cutting speeds — has just recently been introduced by Vermeer. New Vermeer® 40-Series Disc Mowers are available in four different sized models and feature heavy-duty gearbox housing, increased cast material, self-contained cutting disks, Quick-Clip® Blade Retention System and new, wider skids.
  • John Deere announces that it is now providing its dealers with the capability to upload their used equipment inventories directly from a dealer’s John Deere inventory system to eBay. This new capability will allow dealers to list their used agricultural and lawn and garden equipment on eBay, from the same system that they also use to list their used equipment inventories on Deere’s used equipment Web site, in Google Product Search and partner Web sites.
  • Now producers, veterinarians and nutritionists can receive timely industry analysis, news and commentary through BeefCast™, a new podcast that can be accessed easily on the Internet or via an iPod. Each week, three 10- to 15-minute programs, which feature experts’ comments on beef production, industry issues and other wide-ranging topics, are produced. BeefCast podcasts are sponsored exclusively by Elanco Animal Health, hosted by Ned Arthur of Truffle Media Networks and made available free to listeners. More than 80 previously recorded programs already are available at www.BeefCast.com.
