“Farm in a box” offers essential farm equipment to small-scale farmers
AGCO Corp., Duluth, Ga., unveiled its farm in a box (FIAB) initiative, which offers a package of essential farm equipment, including a tractor and implements together with support mechanisms such as parts, workshop tools, training and expertise to ensure sustainable and productive machinery operations.
Some of the equipment is packed inside a box (a modified shipping container) that can then be used as an office or workshop.
FIAB is a solution for small-scale farmers to gain access to machinery needed to transform their operations.
FIAB offers a 45-80hp tractor and implements such as a ripper, disc harrow, trailer and planter to carry out land preparation, planting and crop transport, plus parts and workshop tools for service and maintenance.
