A Standout Week at the 2025 Farm Progress Show
The 2025 Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Illinois, proved to be one of our most successful events yet. With beautiful weather and strong attendance all three days, it was the perfect stage to connect with growers and showcase the latest innovations in agricultural equipment.
Innovation on Display
This year, we were proud to unveil an impressive lineup of new ag equipment across our Unverferth, Brent, Parker, and Orthman brands, including:
- Pro-Force® Air Command™ Section Control – Delivers unmatched precision by controlling individual spreader sections to reduce overlap and maximize input savings.
- 9-Ton TRU-aPLYr™ Dry Fertilizer System – Designed for the Orthman 1tRIPr® strip-tillage tool, offering more efficiency in nutrient placement.
- Model 1342 Parker® Single Auger Grain Cart – A new 1,300 bushel capacity cart option in the Parker single auger grain cart lineup.
- Brent® 3298 Dual Auger Grain Cart – The largest grain cart in the industry with a capacity of 3,150 bushels and paired with the industry’s largest track system for maximum flotation and performance.
- UM X-Series Front-Folding, Single-Auger Grain Cart - This lineup features increased auger side reach and height to easily reach over obstacles and clearing trucks with taller sides.
- 175-Gallon Water Delivery System for the Brent V1100 Grain Cart – Enhancing convenience during harvest.
- Strip-Freshener Option for the Unverferth Raptor® Strip-Tillage Tool – Designed to freshen strips in the spring at higher speeds for optimum planting conditions.

Each new product reflects our commitment to helping farmers achieve greater efficiency, productivity, and return on investment in their operations.
Seeing the Equipment in Action
Beyond the static displays, attendees had the chance to see several products run in the field demonstrations. Farmers watched Unverferth and Orthman strip-tillage equipment at work, grain carts from Brent, Unverferth and Parker catching combines and unloading into trucks, and the Pro-Force dry spreader with Air Command section control applying product with precision. These demos gave a firsthand look at how our equipment performs in real-world conditions.
A Special Visit
We were honored to welcome U.S. Deputy Secretary of Agriculture, Stephen Vaden, to our lot. He spent time with Larry, David, Brett, and Greg Unverferth discussing the future of American agriculture and the importance of continued innovation in ag equipment. His visit was a highlight of the week and underscored the show’s role as a platform for advancing the industry.
Merchandise & Collectibles
In addition to full-size equipment, our scale replica models were a huge hit at the merchandise counter. The new 1/64th scale replica models of the Unverferth 2098 and 1398 grain carts, along with the Pro-Force 1850 dry fertilizer spreader, were especially well-received by collectors and fans.
Looking Ahead
The 2025 Farm Progress Show was a tremendous success, combining strong attendance, ideal weather, exciting new product launches, and meaningful conversations with farmers and industry leaders. We’d like to thank everyone who stopped by our lot in Decatur, and we look forward to seeing these innovations making an impact in the field this fall and beyond. See you next year in Boone, Iowa!
