There are a few reasons that Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) Director Katy Coba thinks 2012 will be a good year for her state's production. According to the Statesman Journal, while speaking with ODA Director of Communications Bruce Pokarney, she cited the fact that her state (and the country as a whole) had "weathered an incredible [economic] storm" and that there are signs that productivity is going to increase this year.
According to the source, Coba went on to explain that the price of hay was skyrocketing, which many Oregon farmers are happy about, as it's a large source of agricultural output within the state. She even noted that blueberries are ripe for market-side expansion.
With agriculture steadily on the rise in the United States, it's important to have the right equipment to get the job done. Those looking to upgrade their agricultural equipment may find what they're looking for in IronPlanet's unique marketplace. With the ability to find specialty items with relative ease, buying a backhoe loader or harvester is no problem at all.
