In the old days, an editor would “open the mailbag” to see what companies were planning to offer farmers. The long-standing tradition of product announcements has been a staple of information for farmers, but these days no mailbag is involved. Instead, the email inbox is a radical collection point for new products and information to share with readers.
In this product roundup, there is a diverse array of new tools. Some are available for this year, and others are being offered for the 2020 crop season. The fun of pulling together this kind of rundown of new products is the diversity shared in one place. And the slideshow approach makes it easy for growers to check out what’s new.
Peruse these products and reach out for more information using the links provided.

<p>GSI has announced its new 30-foot-diameter Z-Series Bin with Flexwave Technology is now available through its dealer network.

<p>Two new bale processors from H&S — the BP2957 and BP2958 — are designed to provide higher-quality feed and softer bedding. Unlike systems that must unroll the bale before shredding, these machines use a hydraulic cradle that rocks bales of any size or shape over hammers. The entire cross section of the bale is shredded at once. The machines are available in right- or left-discharge models. The machines can handle up to 20 small square bales at one time, and they feature fully adjustable loading forks to handle all bale sizes.

<p>Michelin is launching the CargoXBib High Flotation tire, a low-pressure transport tire for use with trailers, spreaders and slurry tanks with a high load capacity. The tires are now available in 28LR26 and 800/60R32 sizes and are compatible with central tire inflation systems. The tire has a new tread design featuring 52 blocks with a wide footprint and a shallow tread, to help reduce the amount of power required to pull trailers.

<p>Syngenta is launching a new seed treatment on the market. The fungicide Vayantis, which contains picarbutrazox — a new active ingredient and novel chemical class — offers innovation to control pythium and phytophthora disease. The new active ingredient was developed by Nippon Soda. By tackling pythium more aggressively, farmers can adopt reduced or no-till dropping systems and avoid having to replant. The novel mode of action will provide more choices for early seedling disease control. Vayantis will be used in combination with Apron to complement genetic tolerance, or even resistance, in specific crops. The product addresses disease needs in corn, soybeans, canola, oilseed rape and cereals. Learn more at <a href="http://www.syngentaseedcare.com" target="_blank">syngentaseedcare.com</a>.</p>
