The new tariffs placed on America’s largest export markets have hit commodity prices hard, adding even more uncertainty to the ag economy and the ag equipment market. While March and April are typically the busiest time of year for auctions, Casey and Machinery Pete wonder what the next couple of months will bring. But prices on good-condition, late-model equipment are holding steady, especially on combines. In this episode of Moving Iron, the hosts offer advice on marketing strategies for getting the best price on your used equipment. Aaron Fintel from 21st Century Equipment in Nebraska and Eddie Claxton from Flint Ag Equipment in Georgia weigh in on what they’re seeing in the marketplace.
