Green farm equipment apparel has gone pretty mainstream in the past several years, but if you see someone sporting a New Holland blue shirt or cap, you can be fairly certain they are a real farmer.

I talked with Glenn Brumley who was staffing the New Holland toys and merchandise display at the National Farm Machinery Show about some of the popular items at the big show. “Hats are always popular, especially with the cold weather,” he said. Camo hats are always big sellers and the “All about the Blue” hat pictured is especially popular with the FFA crowd.

They always have a new feature item each year at the NFMS and this year it was the CR9080 Combine in commemoration of the 35th anniversary of the twin rotor combine for New Holland. Glenn says the dated toys are always big sellers for collectors, but the kids like them, too! You can find some New Holland merchandise here on-line.
