Agri-Pulse Open Mic: Kip Eideberg, Association of Equipment Manufacturers

This week’s Open Mic guest is Kip Eideberg, Senior Vice-President Government and Industry Relations for the Association of Equipment Manufacturers. Like the industries they serve, equipment manufacturers are familiar with the cyclical turns in farming, forestry, construction and mining. Eideberg says higher interest rates, a lack of trade agreements and sluggish economies around the globe and in the U.S. are proving challenging for the customers to make capital purchases. Eideberg is hopeful Congress will bring a new farm bill in the Lame Duck session or at least early next year. He says tax policy will also be critical next year as both industry and customers need amended policy on deductions for research as well as depreciation.
