Agriculture is Unique – South America is no Exception

AGRISHOW was of course full of all types of equipment, from many different manufacturers, including AGCO’s Challenger, Massey Ferguson and Valtra tractors, combines, sprayers and implements. On display was also a variety of equipment I had never seen before, such as a mandioc, or as we would say in the US, a cassava planter. There were also extreme pickup truck test tracks and unique animals, such as goats, mules and at least three different breeds of cattle. See videos of some of the great unique aspects of Brazil’s AGRISHOW.

All these different aspects of agriculture reminded me what a unique business farming is. Different regions of the world with different climates, soils and cultural preferences, result in different crops, animals and farming practices. Equipment is developed to prepare, plant and harvest these different crops, then process the crops for a vast amount of uses, including food, feed and fuel. Farming is certainly one of the great occupations.
