It's been a 'stop-and-go' harvest for P.E.I. potato growers this fall - Yahoo News Canada

AGCO is hitting the road with the 2026 Fendt Harvest Tour, an 11-stop tour that spans six states from Ohio to North Dakota and puts its most technologically advanced combine to work in real fields while celebrating the farmers who power the season. The Fendt Harvest Tour offers a behind-the-scenes look at real harvest conditions, results and the technology reshaping what’s possible in the field. At each stop, farmers will welcome Fendt’s IDEAL combine directly onto their fields, giving them a hands-on opportunity to see how a connected technology ecosystem is game changing. This year’s tour tells “Real Harvest Stories” in the fields of 11 farming families in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and North Dakota. At each location, farmers and their families will put the IDEAL combine to work in varied harvest conditions. The exclusive IDEALdrive joystick steering system gives operators clearer sightlines and less fatigue through long days in the cab. Its 485-bushel grain tank empties in just 81 seconds to keep crews moving through tight harvest windows, while IDEALharvest automation continuously adjusts settings to help protect grain quality from pass to pass.
