520 3  The farm machinery industry is a complex sector of the 
       global manufacturing economy that encompasses many 
       companies, including those who that produce tractors, 
       combines, planting equipment, tillage equipment, and 
       irrigation systems. While the global industry is dominated
       by three full-line manufacturers (Deere and Company, Case 
       New Holland, and the Allis-Gleaner Corporation), there are
       thousands of other companies, including many short-line 
       manufacturers, that also dictate the nature of the 
       industry. In recent years, equipment built by competitors 
       from Asia have become more common in the farmstead 
       landscape, capturing some of the market share U.S. 
       manufacturers once dominated. This book examines farm 
       machinery in the context of its history, corporations, 
       outside market forces, regulations, and challenges and 
       opportunities. The farm machinery industry, while 
       contributing a small percentage to gross world product, is
       vitally important to another key sector of the economy--
       agriculture. In advanced economies, where the percentage 
       of the labor force engaged in agriculture has been on the 
       decline since World War II, high horsepower tractors and 
       efficient harvesting systems are necessary to cultivate 
       more acres with fewer workers to feed an ever-growing 
       world population. Threats to profits in agriculture, such 
       as natural disasters, climate change, and trade wars, 
       increasingly challenge the profits and the viability of 
       the farm machinery industry.
