“New Holland and Alamo Group’s agricultural brands are committed to delivering innovative and trusted solutions to get work done. Our dealers and customers depend on our equipment to work hard every day. This partnership allows us to offer competitive packages to meet the demands of any farm, ranch, or property maintenance application. We’re pleased to provide this opportunity through our dealer locations throughout North America,”

said Brett Davis, vice president of New Holland Agriculture North America.

Through this partnership, New Holland dealers can expand their implement lineup and offer solutions for a variety of applications with complimentary New Holland tractors in one packaged deal. The ability to finance together through CNH Industrial Capital, the financial services business of CNH Industrial, simplifies New Holland customers’ purchase process.

“We are excited about this new alliance. New Holland has been a strong partner to our Bush Hog, Rhino, and Schulte brands and we look forward to continuing to build on our success together,”

said Rick Raborn, EVP of Alamo’s Agricultural Division.

Applicable Alamo Group products are those branded under the Bush Hog, Rhino, and Schulte offerings that attach to the tractor via its three-point hitch or drawbar. Front-end loaders, mid-mount mowers, and hay tools are excluded from the partnership agreement.

Raven Applied Technology delivers impactful technology to farmers and custom applicators around the world. Deeply committed to feeding a growing world population, Raven develops precision agriculture products that promote environmental stewardship, allowing farmers to grow more with less.

“Raven is committed to raising the bar to improve farm productivity. For more than 40 years, Raven has been leading the way in sprayer efficacy, and our participation in the Operation Weed Eradication coalition reflects our ongoing commitment to helping growers improve yields and solve challenges for their ag operations.”

said Dominic Walkes, Raven Applied Technology director of strategic initiatives.

Operation Weed Eradication takes a balanced approach of utilizing cultural practices such as tillage and cover crops, chemical control such as layering residuals and using herbicides with multiple sites of action, and eradication diligence such as managing weeds around field edges to help growers eradicate Palmer amaranth and waterhemp from their fields.

“As we continue to build upon the efforts to drive an eradication mindset toward on-farm pigweed, the Operation Weed Eradication coalition welcomes the opportunity to add Raven as a coalition member, which will only make this industrywide initiative stronger. Palmer amaranth and waterhemp are incredibly difficult weeds to control, so it is imperative that we continue to work with farmers and others in the industry to combat these weeds using multiple approaches.”

said Nick Fassler, BASF technical marketing group manager.

AGCO was the first company to join the Operation Weed Eradication coalition.

“We are excited to have Raven join the Operation Weed Eradication coalition. Adding industry members to the coalition continues to drive the initiative to eliminate these hard-to-control weed species.  Our technology and systems, available through AGCO’s RoGator and TerraGator platforms, are geared to give farmers, retailers, and professional applicators the agronomic advantage.”

said David Webster, AGCO director of marketing for application equipment.
