Supplies of new equipment remain tight as equipment manufacturers deal with supply chain issues. Association of Equipment Manufactures Senior Vice President of Industry Sectors Curt Blades says tight supplies are two-fold. “The demand for equipment has been stronger than previously expected for 2021. Couple that with supply chain issues across the board that are causing equipment to take a little longer to get delivered.” Blades says COVID highlighted supply chain issues that have been developing for several years. “Some of these supply chain issues have been in place pre-pandemic such as shortage of steel, labor, or transportation”. Looking ahead Blades expects the timeline between ordering a piece of equipment and when is shows up on your farm to remain stretched out.
