The ag equipment market may be slumping — but auctions are on fire. In this hard-hitting episode of Moving Iron, Casey Seymour and Greg Peterson dive into the contradiction: Why are tractors and combines stalling in retail sales while auction prices remain surprisingly strong? We also talk about weather chaos, Section 179 tax plays, and why buyer psychology — not just commodity prices — is shaping what sells. Greg gives an eye-opening report on a 14.5% jump in auction activity, and Casey explains why some buyers are still spending big despite economic headwinds. But it’s not just equipment — the guys get real about the impact of social media, political division in rural America, and why now’s the time to get back to real conversations. If you care about ag, auctions, or the soul of rural America — this episode’s for you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
