In a recent online poll, Progressive Forage asked, “How far are you willing to travel to purchase used farm equipment?”
The majority, 37.7 percent of readers, said they will travel 100 miles or less to purchase used farm equipment. Many readers, 31.5 percent, said they would travel to immediate surrounding states.
A few readers, 10.8 percent, said they would travel across regions (West to Midwest, for instance) to purchase used farm equipment. A good amount of readers, exactly 20 percent, said that distance isn’t a qualifier.
