Machinery Pete: Playing It Safe With Used Or Investing In New?

Tyne Morgan of U.S. Farm Report is talking to Greg Peterson, better known as Machinery Pete, at the National Farm Machinery Show.

While there have been recent rallies in the crop markets, farm profits are expected to drop to $59.5 billion.

This week at the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, Kentucky, Tyne Morgan, host of U.S. Farm Report, caught up with Machinery Pete to see what farmers will do when it comes to purchasing machinery.
