AG looks flat
This excerpt is from page 64 of the September 2015 issue of Power Transmission Engineering magazine (link unavailable): the “whole farm sector is under the weather - and in North America that includes Deere, AGCO, and CNH – all of which cite excess inventory and lower used prices. None see a rebound in 2016. And neither do we.”
AP University last
week
Last week AP hosted 31 attendees from across North America, and even a few from Europe, at the 8th session of AP University. The class learned about designing metal components in ductile iron and austempered ductile iron (ADI). AP University passed the 150th attendee threshold with this session. Many thanks to those who served as guest presenters and those who made the trip.
