Given low planter supply, continued supply chain issues, and most 2022 planters being delivered late (or not at all), it’s no surprise that planters continued to bring a premium this spring. If 2021 auction values are any indication of what we’ll also see for 2022, 24-row planters will be a hot commodity to come by.
