About Hot Rod Farmer

Ray is a farmer in New Jersey, USA. He wants to use his knowledge and love of machinery to help farmers prosper. He says; I want your yield bump and business savvy reinvested to bring more value to the next harvest season and not consumed by avoidable equipment failures. For this reason, I have created the Farm Machinery Digest website and Idle Chatter podcast. It is a means for me to transfer knowledge to you about all aspects of the equipment that is employed in modern-production agriculture.
