In this episode of Moving Iron, Casey Seymour and Greg Peterson dive deep into one of the most heated conversations in ag equipment today: the push for simpler, more repair-friendly machinery in the face of tightening emissions regulations and shifting political winds. Sparked by recent comments from President Trump, the debate has farmers, manufacturers, and dealers all asking the same question—what would ‘simple’ even look like in today’s regulatory and economic landscape?

Casey and Greg explore why many farmers are still willing to pay premiums for older, less complex models and how emissions-related retrofit costs—sometimes exceeding $45,000—are reshaping buying decisions.
