Crop Harvesting Crop Harvesting

In the 2017/2018 season, sales figures in the field of forage harvesting increased compared to the previous year. In balers there was a considerable increase of 15 %. For dairy farmers, however, it was a difficult year, with lower milk prices and higher producer prices, mainly due to the drought in many areas of Germany. Agricultural machinery manufacturers used the year to test the products presented at Agritechnica or Husker Harvest Days in 2017. Selected customers are using the first test machines of the self-propelled Vermeer baler and the Claas forage harvester equipped with crawler tracks in practice. The self-propelled forage harvesters offer new models with increased engine power, as well as a new attachment for collecting corn straw for energy production.
