Alberta producer wouldn’t do without his Multifarmer
One producer finds the telehandler a valuable addition to the farm
For David Reinhardt of Carstairs, Alta., deciding to ditch his 200-horsepower front-wheel assist tractor for a Merlo Multifarmer telehandler took a leap of faith. “We were very nervous about it when we bought our first one,” he says. “The price per horsepower is a little bit higher.

Deere launches new See and Spray Select technology
Automated spot-spray option can reduce herbicide use
It’s no surprise to farmers that herbicide use in agriculture has come under increased scrutiny by the general public in recent years.
