The FG machinery team take a first look at John Deere's 9RX 830, it's certainly an eye catcher, but does its size offer a true practical solution for many UK farms?This year's Cereals Event gave the first opportunity for many to take a first look at the world's largest production tractor. Initially launched back in early 2024 at the Commodity Classic show Houston, Texas, the John Deere 9RX 830 finally touched down at a UK show.  Made up of three models, we take a look around the flagship 9RX powerhouse, boasting a maximum power output of 913hp. Surprisingly emissions standards are achieved through the brand's own 18-litre JD18X engine without the need for a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system. But it's not all about power, the 9RX also features a new fully-mechanical e21 PowerShift transmission, a new CommandView 4 Plus cab and a mountain of tech to bring the 9RX into the era of autonomy. Message us

In this episode of the AgNet News Hour, hosts Lorrie Boyer and Nick Papagni discuss why the USDA was ordered to return 5,700, approximately 5,700 probationary jobs back to USDA employees who were fired as a result of the restructuring of the government. It was ruled by the Merit Systems Protection Board, that these employees be reinstated while the board continues its investigation.  The court of appeals for the District of Columbia has ruled this cannot happen. The Justice ruled the Trump administration was not allowed, doesn't have the authority, to fire these people. Additionally, they delve into tariffs and the concerns about tariffs. While at the Commodity Classic in Denver, Colorado, recently, Lorrie had the opportunity to speak with the farmers about the imposed tariffs, and the impact they expected to feel. There were many farmers that were actually fairly optimistic about the proposed tariffs. She reflects how they are concerned, and they don't want to go through the discomfort, but they also had faith in the Trump administration and what they're doing as far as tariffs. What the larger picture looks like in getting more markets and getting more fair and open trade, and thought that this could end up being a good thing for them. Weather in California looks like it's supposed to be a big rainy week coming up Tuesday, maybe through Friday in California, at least in the Central Valley.
