We kick things off with the team from DPA Auctions, who break down what’s moving in the used machinery market, how current conditions are impacting prices, and what farmers need to know if they’re buying or selling today. Then we head into the future with John Deere, diving deep into the world of autonomous tractors and the automation features already built into their latest combines. From steering to sensing, John Deere is leading the charge in using technology to boost efficiency, accuracy, and productivity across the field.
We first talk with DPA Auctions to get a pulse on the current used machinery market. They explain how equipment values are shifting, what’s hot, and how auction trends reflect broader changes in the ag economy. Whether you’re in the market to buy, sell, or just curious about asset values, DPA offers timely insights.
Next, we take a forward-looking leap with John Deere, exploring the future of autonomous tractors and the current automation technology already transforming how we harvest. From auto path steering to real-time yield monitoring, automation inside combines is quietly revolutionizing ag operations—reducing fatigue, increasing precision, and helping producers maximize every acre.
Our guests from John Deere explain how autonomy is not about replacing the farmer, but empowering them to do more with less. It’s not science fiction—it’s already happening, and this episode explains how, why, and what’s next.
