Case IH welcomed agricultural media prior to the Farm Progress Show to see some new products. These include their precision planting products, their Axial Flow technology, their track products and more. Jim Walker, Vice President, North America, welcomed us to the evening event and I spoke with him afterward.

On the lot for the first time publicly was their new Optum Tractor with new ISOBUS Class 3 capabilities. This is a product especially suited for the hay and forage segment. The new ISOBUS enabled tractors work with their Federate Control System for select LB4 Series large square balers.

He also addresses the fact that the industry has gone through a downturn since 2013. He says that’s expected in a cyclical business like agriculture but the company still has to continue providing innovative products to its customers.
